First Veggies

We've been giving Addison cereal for the past two weeks and thought it was time to start introducing some veggies. Interesting enough our pediatrician advised me to feed Addie single veggies and fruits, but you can't find any baby food made here that doesn't seem to have less than three things mixed together. Needless to say we started out with a veggie mix of carrots, peas, potatoes and califlower and needless to say she didn't like them much. She spattered out food all over herself and dad and then refused to eat any cereal as well for the next two days. She screamed pretty hard until she got herself a bottle of mommy milk. We felt out of frustration that if she didn't want to eat any food she could start holding her own bottle. Evidently that worked...she'll take her bottle on her own about 80% of the time now. We tried the veggies again the next night and no luck so we're going to do just milk for a couple of days and try it all again later.
