Food woes

I have to admit that Justin seems to take after me with the texture of food. I have been trying to get him to eat strictly table food, but he hasn't been doing the best with it. I recently started buying stage 3 baby food which has little chunks of noodles, chicken or whatever in it. I never bought state 3 for my other two boys because they were on table food solely at this point. Justin will take about two spoonfuls and then start gagging. I give him another spoonful, and he will gag some more. If I lay some macaroni & cheese on his try, he will eat that with no problems. The only thing I can figure out is that he does not like the texture of his baby food. I like salad, but I cannot stand lettuce on my sandwiches or tacos. Justin apparently inherited that trait from me.

Oh my! My kids had the same problem. We went from stage 2 right to table food. The mixture of smooth food with the food chunks mixed in always made them gag.

And I hate lettuce in my tacos or on sandwiches but like salads as well. ;)
