Holmessweet Bébé Bistro: First Fruit - Mango

We went through lots of vegetables before we introduced fruit. I've read conflicting advice on this... some say to introduce vegetables before fruits so that the baby won't get too accustomed to the sweet taste and then reject the vegetables. Other say that breast milk is naturally sweet, so it doesn't really matter.
I gave Christian veggies before I ever gave him any fruit, and he's a great eater, so we decided to just try that again with Isaac!
Isaac was all smiles for first-fruit day:





In this video, you can tell that Isaac really likes the mango by how many times he moves his mouth to keep trying to get a taste of it. Typically, he opens and closes his mouth once - opens it to receive the food then closes it to swallow -- but with this mango, he just keeps smacking!









Mango continues to be one of Isaac's favorite fruits. It's a pain to cut up fresh mango, but I have found it frozen & diced, so that's been super easy to just thaw it then puree it in the babycook.

Here's a sneeze in action:

Isaac loves to sneeze and usually makes a "ahhhhaaaa" sigh after he sneezes...

it always makes me laugh.

I love these sweet videos. :) I'm wondering why his high chair has him reclining so far. He looks like he is laying down while eating. You suppose it is the camera angle?
