Squash
So here he is just 5 months old and trying to use a spoon. James is getting really big! We have mastered 4 different green foods; peas, beans, spinach and avocado. We moved onto orange foods and he has done really well. We are on the third orange food and he has had no problem with the other two. I realize they are more sweet then the green foods. I just have a feeling that he is just loving food. I am going to be trying new veggies as we go and not move onto fruit until we have mastered some yummy new veggies. I really want my kid to love veggies and healthy food. I realize biologically he is not my child but I am raising him and he is my child in my heart and soul. I want him to reach for the healthy snacks for and ask me for veggies and fruits as snacks before he asks for candy and fast food. At times there will treats and we will get there when the time comes but I want to raise a kid who knows healthy vs non-healthy. I was raised on garden veggies and fresh fruit and I know the difference between the two. Whether I eat healthy that is a choice that I make everyday. I try best I can to eat healthy maybe 90% of the time, but I slip occasionally. I want him to know that an occasional something bad for you is okay, and it is a treat not something you eat everyday. Well for now we will stick with pureed veggies and go from there!
