Healthy Eater


I'm blessed.  Saul eats everything.  Literally.  I have Todd to thank for that for the most part.


He's eaten things in the past 10 months that I hadn't even tried until I was 21 years old! 
Some of the more interesting things he loves include: hummus (any kind - plain, garlic, roasted red pepper), every seasoning and herb known to man, DILL PICKLES(!!!), dove, venison, shrimp, and crawfish, to name a few.  

I remember Todd thinking it would be cute to let him try a bit of lemon because Saul was grunting for it when Todd was using the juice for it.  The child loved it.  LEMONS.  I wince just thinking about how sour a lemon is.  

If you peel the skin back from a tomato, he'll eat it like an apple.  

When something is new, he kinda gives you this face:  
  Then he chews on it for a minute, then he's back to yelling, "baaa-baaa!!" 

The only things he's flat out refused to eat are fish (not fried, not broiled, not grilled, but if it's tuna from a can, he's cool), Beechnut Turkey Baby Food, and any sort of "3rd food" type baby food with pasta lumps it in.  

That's really not bad; I don't think.  


And he also doesn't waste food.  If you give him bits off your plate, he loves to feed himself.  If he drops a piece, he won't even take the next bite until he locates the fallen morsel and eats it first.  

He is his father's son.
