I don't think I like Carrots

Here is Megan trying carrots for the first time. For the first basic baby foods I made them at home because I thought it would be a fun project. I spent Tuesday afternoon making pureed carrots and green beans. Once Mark got home we stripped Megan down and had her try carrots for the first time. She did ok for the first few bites but then she had a change of heart. The video below is Megan's reaction, now keep in mind that this reaction was after about 5 bites. Sorry about lighting and the shaking is because Mark was laughing so hard. I hope you can see her reaction.

After mixing rice cereal with the carrots and trying that with no success, I have resorted to having Megan take 2 bites of rice cereal then one bite of carrots. Megan doesn't mind the carrots when I feed her that way. I like to think I keep her guessing so she doesn't know what type of food she will have next.

To Angie: Megan's reaction reminds me of Riley's reaction the first time she tried a lemon when we were all eating at Sal's. I still laugh when I think about Riley and her lemon.

New foods are wonderful. Brenden does not make the great faces that Riley has or does when trying new foods. Keep up the guessing game and she will be eating everything soon.

Love,
Angie
