Veggies!!!

Kendall loves eating her vegetables. First we started with the green vegetables peas and green beans and she really like the peas but didn't like the green beans as much. Today we moved onto orange vegetables and carrots was the first one she got to try and she loved them. She kept reaching for the spoon and by the time we were done she was an orange mess. For the time being while she is learning to eat real food she is only having them once a day. Since she has started eating the veggies she doesn't like to eat the rice cereal just plain, i will stick the spoon in her mouth and she just gives me this face like what is this boring stuff you are giving me, where is the flavor? Once she gets used to the carrots we will switch to sweet potatoes and then after that will be squash. To make sure she is not allergic to anything or has a bad reaction you are supposed to give them the same food for a week, I have been doing 4 days. I mix half a jar of baby food with about a 1/4 cup of rice cereal and she can eat almost the whole thing with a few ounces of a bottle to wash it all down.

I do have one complaint though, there is not a lot of variety as far as vegetables. Green beans, peas, carrots, squash and sweet potato are the only ones. There sure is a whole lot of variety of fruits though. Once she gets used to everything i will start mixing different things together like peas and carrots to give her some more different flavors. Once she gets some teeth she will be able to eat steamed vegetables and be able to feed herself, that will be so exciting. She is growing up so fast!
