Food!

Anthony is turning out to be a good eater. He doesn't terribly like rice cereal made with just formula (do you blame him???). If I add in just a little apple juice he gobbles it right up.

Today we tried carrots for the first time. It was his first taste of vegetable and he pretty much gobbled them down. The first bite or two he wasn't quite sure what to make of the strange taste, but then his little mouth was wide open. Most of it also goes down, very little actually mushes back out. He ate about 2 Tablespoons worth of carrots and then I decided he was done for the day. (That was on top of a few Tablespoons of rice cereal.)

We have about 2 more days worth of carrots open. Then he'll probably have green beans next week.

Right now he's eating Gerber first foods. I intend to make his food reasonably soon. Not everything, but probably sweet potatoes and green beans when they come into season here. I also see no point in buying jarred bananas when they have perfectly good bananas at the grocery store that just require a little bit of mashing.

One bad thing about carrots. Carrot colored spit-up is just a little gross!
