I don't know what happened, but all of the sudden AJ has become this SUPER picky eater. I don't know if he's not feeling good, or his taste buds changed or what, but this is tough!
I have A LOT of homemade baby food in my freezer that I'm afraid I may have to throw away since AJ's not at all interested in it. I keep opening new jars of food and he may take one bite, but then he scrunches his nose and bats it away. It's like he's not hungry anymore...for anything!
I know that he will eventually eat when he's hungry, but I don't like the fact that he used to be such a great eater, and now this. When I give him actual bites of food (pancake, goldfish, watermelon, etc) he puts it in his mouth and then takes it out and drops it on the floor. GRRR!!
I hope this phase ends quickly.

Don't worry! It's just a phase. It could take a few weeks but he will start to eat again.
And trust me, it won't be the first time he decides he doesn't want to eat...you will go through this phase with him many more times through the years.
I hate when they waste food too! Chris and I are thinking about starting a compost (the new ones that are in a bin) because we feel like we throw so much away!
Good Luck and don't give up. Keep offering the same foods...he will eventually get that appetite back. :)
Annnnnnnnd once again our boys are SO MUCH alike! LOL
Preston has been doing the same thing. It's like he is not interested in his baby food anymore. He is, however, interested in whatever WE eat.
He has been teething pretty bad though (he just got his top two the other day) and I think that may have something to do with it.
I am going to try Mac n' Cheese but try to make it as healthy as I can (i.e. not put butter in it or salt). He really seems to like our pasta when I make it, and so I think I'm going to try the mac n cheese with him :)
