not one little bit

Jack is six months old today. He rolled from his back to his belly two weeks ago! Today I fed him a few bites of avacado. He is was so happy for the first 4-5 bites. He wasn't even thrusting his tongue out. It was as if he had eaten many times before. I was thinking, "oh, my wonderful, amazing child!!" Then the picture-perfect scene changed dramatically. Jack began to be very upset with his avacado. He began to grunt and fuss and cry and spit it out! He looked like he was spitting out a cherry pit. He was very precise about it. I believe he removed every bit of avacado from his mouth and did not swallow another bite.
