Green Peas for Annie

Annie tried green peas for the 1st time last night and had some mixed emotions about the experience. She has gone through the "cereal regimen" (2 weeks rice cereal, 2 weeks oatmeal cereal & 2 weeks mixed grain cereal), but this was her 1st time eating "real" food...if you don't count the prunes that she has mashed up in her morning bowl of cereal (helps keep her regular, if you know what I mean) or the three tiny bites of masted potatoes she had Sunday evening. I fed her a few bites of cereal like normal and then, being the stealthy creature I am, "snuck" in a small spoon of peas...the picture shows her response. Contrary to the expression in the photo she really seemed to like the first few bites, but then things started to head downhill and anytime I gave her peas instead of cereal she would start to cry...this will probably sound mean, but it was actually quite comical. So we didn't force anything and just called it quits on the peas for the evening, but today at lunch I warmed some more up for her and she happily ate everything in her bowl and was looking for more. I guess it just goes to show you that you should always give things a second chance. We'll see how it goes tonight!
