The Baby Who Ate Pesto

In yet another example of the weirdness of nearly-seven-month-old Bagel's taste in food, we have now discovered that he likes to eat my homemade pesto.

Here's what we tried to feed him this evening:

• Honey Nut Cheerios: rejected for being too much work to put in mouth.
• apple carrot juice in bottle: rejected
• apple carrot juice in juice bottle with straw: rejected
• watered-down apple carrot juice in juice bottle with straw: rejected
• tater tot: smushed, accepted as toy
• piece of chicken patty: rejected
• pesto: heartily accepted
• rice cereal mixed with pesto: tolerated

I wonder if we should try giving him dealcoholized wine; maybe if it's a good vintage and we serve it in the correct glass, he'd prefer that to juice.
