Gotta Eat Your Veggies

Tyler had his first serving of vegetables last night. We started him off on yummy green beans. We thought he wouldn't like them very much at all, especially after the first face he made, but he proved us wrong. He opened his mouth wide for more and we went from there. We only fed him a little because we're not sure if he is going to have an allergic reaction to it yet, but with each bite he wanted more. At one point, he even grabbed the spoon and tried to put it in his mouth himself. He was thoroughly enjoying each spoonful and made "mmm" noises as he was eating it. It was the cutest thing! It is recommended that you start off with less-sweet green vegetables because your baby will be more receptive to them than if you just started with the yellow vegetables, such as squash or carrots. He actually seemed to like the green beans more than the rice and oatmeal cereal that we were previously feeding him. The aftermath of the feeding was quite the sight! He had green stuff all over his face and his jammies!
