First Vegetables

After almost 2 weeks of rice cereal, we were very excited to introduce Ella to another food. We decided to go with a vegetable instead of a fruit because they say that if you start with a fruit they'll always want the sweet taste of fruits and it will be harder to introduce vegetables later.

I definitely have a sweet tooth and Steve pretty much avoids anything green, so I thought we'd be doing Ella a favor by starting her out with a green veggie and then later introduce some sweeter vegetables and then fruits.

I chose green beans thinking they were pretty harmless and a vegetable that everyone can tolerate. Boy was I wrong!

Ready to go!


Very excited, diving in for a taste


Yuck! Not pleased at all!


Please, no more!

After 4 days of green beans (lucky girl) we moved on to squash, which she loves! So, she's been enjoying her days of squash and then on Saturday we'll move on to either carrots or peas...
