Finally ate something for real!

Okay! So after trying to feed Kaylee solids for 3 months she finally ate something. Up until now she might eat 1-2 puffs, a spoonful of puree and then clamp her mouth shut, or gum a piece of bread. If she did eat a solid, she would (unless puree or puffs) gag and throw up. Hence my concern! But tonight, Dondondon FINALLY she ate 1/2 of a hamburger bun and then a little of the bottom too. I know, I know. Not the healthiest but I'll tell you after three months, you take what you can get! We'll diversify to make it more nourishing once she has the hang of it. She was even taking rather big bites, chewing, swallowing and coming back for more. My baby is eating!!!

These are the things we tried and didn't work:
cereal (spoonful maybe)
peaches
pear
sweet potatoes
applesauce
banana (finger food and puree)
puffs
formula (threw it up)
yogurt (think she's allergic to dairy at least at this point)
pizza crust (threw it up)
potatoes

I really really think that it has helped Kaylee to watch her cousin eating so well. He's 10 1/2 months old and is eating well, almost everything. So Kaylee would sit in her highchair and just watch him. 8 days into our trip she finally decided to join in! I'm so grateful and so relieved because I was worried and had even contacted her pediatrician (as you may know). So hopefully we can reintroduce the above to get her going! Wish us luck!
