Meatatarian? I think not.

Owen & Carter will be 8 months old this Sunday. Where does the time go? Last night Josh and I decided it was time to try giving the boys meat. I had honestly thought about doing it a few months ago, but I just couldn't. Not because I thought they were too young, because the look of pureed meat was enough to deter me. It was time for me to get over my fear and anxiety of meat in a jar. Is it just me, or is something about that just terribly wrong?

I had heard many babies have odd reactions to meat for the first time, so I came prepared for the occasion with my camera in tow. Let me tell you, I was not in the least disappointed. As I popped open the jar of chicken and chicken broth I was immediately overcome with horror. Those of you who have cats will understand what I'm talking about. The disgusting gelatinous mush in the jar not only looked like cat food, but smelled and probably tasted like it too! Now being the good Mom that I am, I usually taste all of the food before I give it to Owen & Carter, but last night was Daddy's turn to be the good parent! Judging by the look on Josh's face I think it was fair to assume it tasted as horrible as it looked.

Here is Owen's reaction to his first taste of cat food. I mean meat. Is it wrong that Josh and I laughed the entire time he was eating? Does it make us bad parents? Call us what you like....it was funny! You be the judge.
