YUMMY, YUMMY TO OUR TUMMY....BABY FOOD!

Oh goodness, what a mess was made. At the pediatricians direction, we began feeding Taylor baby food. We started this new adventure with green veggies. On the menu for Supper #1: Green Beans. What a sight!!! Out of 4 ounces, I would say about 3.75 ounces ended up on the bib, the bumbo chair, well, everywhere except in Taylor's tummy.
There were giggles...

There were tears...
and in the end, all three of us were completely exhausted.

This evening was Supper #4, and there has been some improvement. Ray and I have wised up. We now strip Taylor down to a diaper, use a disposable bib, and keep the tub of WetOnes at an arms length. We also have moved on to yummier, yet still green, veggies...Sweet Peas! This evening, Taylor ate all four ounces! Only a few more days of the greens and we will move on to yellow veggies and after that, orange veggies. The doctor recommended we introduce Taylor to veggies, then meat, and lastly, fruits (save the yummiest for last). I will keep you all posted on what are Taylor's favorites.

  2. A little fruit makes the medicine (or peas) go down.

  4. Kaitlyn never really took to green beans in the beginning. She really loved carrots and sweet potatoes though - hence her orange nose at that time. :) We also stopped using the cloth bibs and got some really nice plastic ones at Babies-R-Us - they are JJ Cole. They were a little more expensive, but can be rinsed off and you hang them to dry. They also go in the washer when needed. I LOVE them! Good luck with all the other food!
