Sweet Potatoes, Apples and Pears, Oh My!

Dane's been practicing with his solids at feedings lately, with mixed results. He's done great with oatmeal and rice cereal over the last couple months, but we've started also trying fruits and veggies, now that he gets how a spoon works (most of the time, he gets it:)) So far, he's loved peas, gotten gassy and unhappy after pears and gotten slightly constipated with sweet potatoes. It's so fun to see him tasting new things for the first time! He also loves the fresh fruit smoothies that mark and I make for dinner frequently, possibly also liking them because the cold feels good on his gums. He makes some hilarious faces while testing out the new foods, which makes us laugh. He also loves it when we do a "zzzzzz" noise with the spoon; it makes him giggle every time. This was one of his recent pear feedings. After this face we're not sure if he likes it!
