In my tireless quest to get Blake interested in real food and to give my self a break from nursing twenty seven times a day, I decided to try feeding him Nori. He loves to eat paper, and the dried, roasted seaweed snack is the closest edible thing I could find. Leo used to eat it, and Louisa seems to enjoy it so it was worth a try.
It was going well at first, he was delighted with the offering and attacked it enthusiastically. Things quickly went downhill, however, as the seaweed snack dissolved into little globs of green goop and/or sticky flecks that attached themselves to every available surface. I'm not sure how much of it actually made it past his mouth, it seemed to just keep working its way back out again. The smell was another problem. Although not bad in its dried form, after it gets worked on for a while it stinks, well, like fish. I had to dismantle the highchair to get at all of the goops and particles. Having no time to bath Blake before pickup for the boys, I was left with a faintly fishy smelling baby.
I left him in the car.
Blake gives his opinion of the snack. (I never realized how LOUD my dryer is!)

Hmm.... I thought all babies smelled like fish. Live and learn. All this time, it's just been the nori.
