Mangia! Vivian Style

After trying avocado twice, sweet potatoes twice and banana, I began to get discouraged that maybe Vivian just wasn't ready for food. I know they are not breast milk but she was just not having it and I was looking forward to starting solids! Well Thursday at Momma's Milk Circle I had brought some veggie snacks for myself. Vivian started eyeballing my baggie and reaching for it. There were grape tomatoes (too citrusy), baby carrots (too hard), sugar snap peas (too tiny) and sweet baby peppers (just right). So, I handed her a pepper and she started going to town on it. Who would have thought? It took me over 20 years to like peppers and Vivian likes them at 6 months old! Too funny. Now I know that she is not against all food. Since then she has also enjoyed a lightly steamed carrot. It could be a texture thing. The first three foods I had her try were really mushy. The two she likes were more al dente. I'm going to give a frozen banana a try this week.

Vivian and her sweet bell peppers! Yummy!
