Addison has officially entered the world of fine eating. Well as fine as you can get from the pureed world. She has been eating rice cereal for about 2 weeks now and tonight was her first experience with vegetables. After a great debate on which veggie to start with, we settled on green beans. Not too sweet, not too tart. In the past we assumed the position that we would always taste everything we gave her to make sure it was not too obnoxiously disgusting. However, since she has entered this new world, we've decided that she's on her own. :-) We assume that Gerber has a fine record of providing nutrional meals to babies across the world and therefore we need not join her in her meal time quests.
Fortunately and unfortunately, the introduction of green beans was quite uneventful. She made one small scrunched up face and then continued to eat her first tablespoon of green beans in addition to her rice. We were really hoping for some amazingly funny faces but she actually seemed to like them. She'll get 2 more days of green beans before we move on to her next veggie.
On an exciting note, we found out today that our friends Grocho and Bob are expecting a little boy in early June. They had waited to find out the gender of the baby until Valentine's day and then sent out the cutest pic of her belly with a big heart drawn on it and "it's a boy" written in the middle. We're certain that Addie & Baby Boone will be instant boyfriend and girlfriend and can't wait to meet the little one. He'll surely be a bouncy, spitfire of a kid as a result of his genetics! :-)
