week1 : on a mission with Green Beans

So Jacoby is 4 months old now and at his 4 month appointment his peditrician gave the go ahead for us to start solid foods. Well I waited a few days cause the little guy had a cold and I wanted him to be able to appreciate the taste of the new food. So last Sunday we tried cereal as an expierement since he has been so interested in what I am doing and what I have been eating for the past few weeks I thought you know we can try it out if he does well great we can go forward if not no big deal we will try again at a later time. Well he did really well with the cereal so I decided we would try something green... I had intended for him to have peas first which I know some people thought was cruel and mean knowing how much I myself despise peas but I made a mistake and grabbed green beans instead oh well they are still green and those I actually do love. Well so we tried them and he loved them. ( there were witnesses to this adventure yes ). He did wonderful he knew where the green beans were coming from and when they would approach his mouth he would open it waiting for the green beans to make their landing on his tongue. Now as soon as he sees the food and the spoon he gets all excited about what is coming. Yep it now means that he has stinky diapers but oh well at least my little guy is happy and when we start the next new food I am going with peas... this way I know what not to make or buy when he starts to run low on things.
