Baby Meets Lemon in Adorable Showdown (VIDEO)

by Jacqueline Burt on January 12, 2012 at 12:05 PM

baby lemonIt's a classic moment every parent wishes they'd caught on film: Baby's first lemon. That face! I'll never forget the look my daughter gave me: Have you gone mad, woman? What made you think I would want to eat that?!

And then she wanted to try it again.

Just like the baby in this video, whose lucky parents did manage to record the citrus fruit milestone for posterity. It's a good one, too -- and if the setting looks familiar, that's probably because most babies end up testing out their first lemon wedge in this place ...

A restaurant!

You know how it goes: Everybody's sitting at the table, the baby starts getting fussy in her high chair ... then somebody takes the lemon wedge from a glass of water and says, "Hey, let's see if the baby likes this!"

Knowing full well that the baby won't like it, necessarily, but she will make a spectacularly funny face. And, human nature being what it is, she'll go back for another taste. And another.

Check out this cutie's first lemon face:

Does your baby make a funny face when she tries new foods? Which ones?

    No one has ever done that to my children. Nor would I ever do that to my children. I find it terribly distrubing the people that find that funny.

    @Zyva, Lighten up! It's a LEMON! A fruit! It's not like they gave the baby drugs! It's a life experience that a baby has to have :)

    Cute baby... young.  I just gave my 9 month old a lime the other day... at a restaurant.  His face was so dramatic!  Lucky I got it on video, but my cell video which isn't as clear. 

    My lil guy prefers lemons, btw... which he had a couple weeks ago for the 1st time.

    I don't think it's mean. I always thought these videos were too funny. Everyone's gotta try a lemon sometime or another!

    We've waited on lemons because citrus fruits are so acidic they're not recommended until 12 months, but I don't think a restaurant is the best place to try one.  I read a study a few years ago that the food with the most germs on it in a restaurant are the lemons for garnishing.  Gross.

    LOL. That baby loves that lemon! Of course I tried it with my daughter when she was a baby and she made a horrible funny face and went back for more. They are so adorable.
