For the love of green beans

We have started Little Man on solids recently. Formula just wasn't enough for him and he was showing the signs that it was time for solids. He has been doing very well: opening his mouth for the spoon and getting excited when we put him in the highchair.
So far here is the scorecard for foods:

• Rice cereal - OK
• Oatmeal - OK
• Pears - Yummy
• Sweet Potatoes - Yummy Yummy
• Prunes - OK
• Apple/prune juice - Good
• Green beans - Yucky!
• Apple Sauce - Not sure refused to swallow anything after the green beans were put into mouth.

I had to wipe the green beans out of his mouth with a paper towel. He had his tongue up against the roof of his mouth and the green beans pooling under it. Of course while crying.
