I'm a lean mean green bean!

Now that Will is 5 months I decided that we would try other solid foods. He is doing really well with rice cereal and I am super anxious to be done with nursing. The first time we tried green beans. He was not really a fan. :) He kept making a sour puss face and even acted like he was going to gag a couple of times. Matt and I think it was just because he didn't know what to do with it. I made the beans myself- well that is I cooked and pureed them. :) I think when I do the next bunch I need to puree a bit more, but I am excited that I can make my own baby food. I should save some pennies. :) 
Here is a picture of the first green bean experience...

It was pretty funny because he kept tapping his hand on the tray. It was like he was tapping out of a wrestling match. :) 

Matt calls this picture "No more green beans, Mom!"

This is Will's way of preparing for lunch. :)

So the pretty great news is that on his second try at green beans he decided they were pretty good. At first he was still not impressed, but after about half of the serving he changed his mind and he ended up eating the whole thing. :) Next veggie will be carrots! I will also probably start mixing applesauce with rice cereal so that it actually has some flavor. :)
