Roselyn eats peas and green beans!

So the last couple of weeks have been an adventure in eating for Roselyn. First, the rice cereal is going very well. She opens her mouth wide when I am bringing the spoon with the cereal close to her mouth and swallows happily. She eats it so fast! I started with one tablespoon of rice cereal, but now we are close to 3 tablespoons. After rice cereal I decided the next step was vegetables. Yes, fruit normally go over better, but it is important babies do not get used to the sweet taste of fruit- then it is likely they will refuse vegetables. I started with one of my favorite vegetables- peas! Like the rice cereal, Roselyn has a painful look on her face when the food first entered her mouth. The difference was the look of the food coming out of her mouth because she was not interested in swallowing- green goop that looked like it came from Slimmer from Ghostbusters. She cried, but I was determined to get through the container. Well, we got through half of it and I decided that was a feat considering her attitude about it. A couple of hours later we tried again and the container was finished- without crying! This week green beans were introduced. The experience was the same as peas, but I knew, like peas, she would get used to it.
