Owen had his first helping of green beans, pureed of course....and he LOVED them! I was so surprised. He has been eating solid foods on a regular basis for about a month now. He started with just plain rice cereal, then we moved to green peas. He liked them a lot it seemed, but then started boycotting them. We then tried bananas....no go. Next.....squash.....he seemed to be a fan, but last night, the green beans were a home run! He couldn't get enough, it was so cute. He kept opening his mouth wider and wider, like he was a little bird. Now, of course, I thought that he loved peas this much too before he starting refusing to eat them. So we will see what the next couple of days bring.
We got a 1/2 bushel of peaches (yes, that is a lot) from Saunder's Brothers on Saturday. They are so sweet and delicious, you just can't get enough. Ask Corey, he eats at least a half dozen every day! Well, Corey peeled the skin off of a peach and let Owen suck on it. He seemed a little put off for a second or two, but then he realized just how yummy they were. He kept pulling Corey's hand toward him to eat more of the peach. It was so amazing to see him consciously grabbing for something that he knew he wanted. His movements have become so coordinated and deliberate. It is so fun to see his progression every day. What a miracle children are.
We will be trying the next food soon, we'll keep you posted on how he receives it.
