Haha awwww!!
I think my DS would take to it pretty well. He's already showing interest in food and we did let him sample plain mashed potato the one night and he was totally fine.
I'm going to talk to my pediatrician as she was advising me to let him taste things now but wait until 6 months to start solids. However, he is a eating machine so I think he could benefit from the extra calories. Makes sense regarding needing more calories bc he's rolling over constantly, getting into crawl stance, and learning to sit up. He's doing so much and is probably needing extra fuel to do it!
