We've been trying all sorts o' new foods out lately and most of them have been hits (he's thankfully reverted to his previous state of eating pretty much everything).
HOWEVER....
Our cottage-cheese-mixed-with-avocado attempt today failed spectacularly. He spit the second spoonful out, seriously just stuck his tongue right back out and let it slide down his face. So I gave him a couple other things to eat (if he's ever refusing anything, a Cheerio is usually sufficient to get him to open his mouth for one more spoonful). So after a couple Cheerios and a piece of pasta, he ate the 3rd spoonful but gave me the stink-eye...all, "what the hell IS this, mom?!?" With much cunning we got him to eat several more spoonfuls and G and I had great laughs at the faces he made with each bite...until he finally quite literally started gagging. I thought he was going to puke in major style - it seriously sounded like adult dry heaves. At that point we conceded defeat. (And he quite effectively made us both feel guilty for all our previous giggles...)
I'm pretty sure it was the avocado that he didn't like, since he had a couple bites of cottage cheese last Friday with no problems. I'm thinking he'll either get plain cottage cheese or cottage cheese mixed with pear this afternoon to eliminate that possible culprit.
If it is the avocado...we'll give him a couple days and try to maybe mix it with the favorite bananas next time.
