New Flavors

I introduced Eva to strained green beans for the first time. At first she swirled them around in her mouth with the studied look of a gourmet connoisseur. But soon they seemed to grow on her. It's fun to watch her trying out new foods. I went out and bought her several different first foods to try, like peas, carrots, apples and sweet potatoes, but I'll space out introducing them at least a few days between each one. I had planned to wait longer before introducing fruit, but Eva was screaming in the car on the way home from the store the other night, so I opened the first jar of baby food I could grab and let her suck pureed bananas from my finger while Dave drove. I’m getting a book of baby food recipes so I can make my own at home.
