Greens

Eden hates just about every green vegetable imaginable. Peas...hates them. Green beans...was tolerating them a few weeks ago, but as of tonight...not so much. However, I was reading one of my baby food cookbooks and I saw that you could give babies zucchini puree. Desperate to get her to eat something green, I bought some and pureed it and gave it to her a few days ago.


And......



SUCCESS!!!

John's mom got us a baby food maker for Christmas (I had asked her for it as a gift for me but she sent it for "us") and I love making Eden's food. I'm more excited for when she gets a little bit older and I can experiment with more foods, but we're doing pretty well so far. I've made sweet potatoes, peas, green beans, carrots, pears, and I do bananas the day she's going to eat them just by taking a banana and smashing it up before giving it to her. I'm wanting to introduce herbs and spices, but I'm going to wait until her 6 month appointment to check with her doctor just to make sure it'll be ok. I want her to be a good eater and I know I can't control that, but I can try by exposing her to as much as possible now and continuing the trend the older she gets. Tomorrow....we try mango which I'm sure will be a success. I've yet to find a fruit she doesn't like. But I think that's typical.
