Fruit for Kars

Up until this week the only "real" food Karson would eat was french fries and that has only been in the last three weeks. He was not up for anything unless it was a stage 2 baby food. However he has decided to try some new things! Yeah for Karson. I am so happy he is eating new foods but he still has his issues.

This week he has had a strawberry cut very tiny but I am happy he was willing to chill in his high chair and eat them. He also took some small pieces of a banana. He has tried banana in the past and hated it. He didn't want too much of the banana but he did several small pieces and then shook his head "no".

His therapist said she would like me to add olive oil to some of his foods to give them more calories since he isn't eating solid foods and neither of us want Karson's weight to become an issue since he is so active. She also wanted me to try to add avocado to his fruits to see if he will eat that as well. We cannot try dairy stuff because we do not have the go ahead from his GI dr. I am also going to try to mash up other fruit and see if he will eat them as well.

Looking forward to more progress. Baby steps, baby steps.
