Green Beans Are Gross!

We started a new food yesterday: green beans! Yuck! We wanted to start her on a vegetable so she didn't develop a sweet tooth with all the delicious rice cereal and applesauce she's been chowing down on lately, and it was a tie between green beans and sweet potatoes. Matt's vote went with the green beans, since he likes the grown up version of those and detests sweet potatoes. I figured we'd might as well go for the gusto and try the green beans too- I figured that if she'll eat these, she'll eat anything! (I tried them- they really are pretty gross!) The video pretty much sums up her reaction to this strong-smelling, foul-looking vegetable puree. But then again, she was traumatized by rice cereal the first time she tried that too, and now we can't shovel it down fast enough! We're going to have a little green bean- rice cereal snack each afternoon this week...if nothing else, we'll learn that she isn't allergic, and move on to one of the more tasty Gerber 1st Phase foods next week. Now...eat your vegetables!!
