Over and Over and Over Again

It's been almost two weeks of trying, and tonight we had a major victory. I was just about ready to give up. We've been introducing Brighton to veggies. We started with green beans and this week we've been doing peas. We've been at it for two weeks, and Brighton was not really interested. He almost seemed to plead with us to just move on to the rice cereal night after night. Then this week he learned how to shut his lips tightly to prevent us from getting in. He's really turning into the stinker we called him long before he was even here.
Tonight he ate a whole jar of peas! Two and a half ounces of peas. I am still in shock about it. I'm not sure yet if it was a break through or a fluke. We'll see. When he wasn't eating his veggies he would over and over and over again eat his feet with socks on. It makes for some great laughs and even bigger messes. Until tonight I would have told you he likes eating his socks better than eating vegetables.


Brighton is also rolling over and over and over again. He hasn't figured out how to get back yet, but he is pretty much obsessed with rolling over onto his stomach. He doesn't like being left there for too long, but the second we flip him back, he rolls over again.


What are you doing over and over and over again?

There just isn't much else that makes my heart smile like Bright does.

have you tried sweet potatoes or carrots yet? Hannah loves those. She didn't take so well to the beans at first either... yesterday we started butternut squash, and she loved it. Tip: if you make your own butternut squash, wear gloves as you are handling it. It was MANY scrubs and a day or 2 before my hands felt normal again! ;)

I love the noise he makes when he rolls over. He's the cutest!
