Not a big fan of green

Noah, who is a huge fan of anything green (eco-friendly that is), has a daughter who apparently doesn't care much for things that are green. Green food that is. While I can't remember if I started Lily on food using peas or green beans, I do remember that she loved them. She couldn't get enough. And, some 3 1/2 years later, she's still a big fan of any and all green vegetables including edamame, brussel sprouts, artichokes, you name it.


So when it came time for us to move beyond the Happy Bellies brown rice cereal, I let Lily vote on the green veggie for Anna; sweat peas won, hands down. Only her belly wasn't so happy with the peas. I won't elaborate, but let's just say that daughter #2 has an even more sensitive gag reflex than daughter #1. And her diapers started stinking even more than usual. Since green beans, organic or otherwise, have amazingly vanished from the shelves at Harris Teeter, Safeway, Whole Foods AND Babies R Us, we've moved on to the orange veggies. For now. I'm determined to acclimate Anna to the greens! So, for her second taste of food, sweet potato was on the menu. And boy was it a hit!!

Look closely and you can see the little chompers!
