Our Picky Eater

I have to vent just a little bit....

Last week our pediatrician told us to start feeding G all sorts of fatty high calorie foods because he needed to gain more weight. It hasn't exactly worked out as planned so far. Gavin is eating less than he did a couple months ago (from what I remember), and that is what has Dad worried. He seems to call it quits when we are feeding him whenever anything out of the ordinary happens. This could be a taste of something he doesn't like hits his lips, tasting something new, when he slouches and I attempt to sit him back up, when he is making a diaper, when the dog walks by, etc. It has become stressful and frustrating to say the least. Probably the most frustrating this is his pickyness that he has developed. Here's a list of foods that G likes and hates (there is no in between).

Likes:
Oatmeal - sometimes when he is in the mood...other times only a spoonful or two...
Sweet Potatoes - loves em
Peas - eats them at school all the time
Green garden vegetable - again eats them at school all the time
Ice Cream
Real Bananas - not the baby food version

Hates:
Green Beans
Peaches
Bananas
Broccoli and Carrots - can't blame him on this one, it smelled terrible....
Mashed Potatoes - gag
Gravy
Scrambled eggs - threw up
Cooked Carrots - threw up
Cooked Peas - threw up
Sausage pieces - gag
Chicken - threw up
Any mixed fruit baby food
Any meat based baby food - the Turkey Tetrazini (sp?) went over like a lead balloon....

Maybe when our mood is right:
Pears
Squash
Bread pieces
Puffs - likes to play with them more than eat them

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest....
