Peas Are Gross

The boys have loved every food they have encountered so far....except peas. They bombed in a major way. Yucky faces and spitting food back out. I made homemade peas and seriously they didn't taste bad (Brett didn't think so either), so it has to be a texture issue. I'm going to have to work on that to try to find a way to get these boys to eat their peas! We definitely want them to have lots of variety and we want them to like a lot of foods. And we figure feeding them the real thing instead of the jar has to be better because it actually tastes like the food they will eat as they make their way into table foods.

Even though I made sure not to laugh at them when they were doing it (because I don't want to encourage disliking foods), I must admit it was hilarious to see them screw up their noses like that at the same time!

I made sweet potatoes for the boys this weekend too - loaded up about 12 ice cube trays full and they were very excited about those. Of course if they keep eating only carrots and sweet potatoes for their vegetables they are going to turn orange so I need to restock the green beans soon and I'm planning some butternut squash and more avocado (though yes, that is technically a fruit.)
