I like carrots (and sweet potatoes)!

Drew ate carrots (his first veggie) last Thursday for the first time, and he gobbled them up! No yucky faces at all....he acted like he had been eating them for years. I found a can of baby carrots in our pantry, and I pureed them....it was so easy! The hardest part is not knowing when to stop; that's one of the benefits of feeding from a jar, I guess. Drew just keeps eating and eating it!
Then this Monday, I tried sweet potatoes. I found a can of mashed sweet potatoes at the store (I think the brand is called Sugary Sams??), and Drew has been eating those this week. They are pretty thick, but he seems to do okay with them. He loves these too! Here he is watching Grant from his highchair while he's eating:
This boy loves to eat; he grabs the spoon from me when I'm feeding him, and he starts fussing if I take a break to eat a bite of my own dinner! Right now I'm only feeding him one solid food meal per day.....so we haven't done any rice cereal since I started the veggies. It is hard finding time to sit him in his highchair for a meal.....much harder than with Grant, when I didn't have another child running around and needing me! It is still much easier just to sit down and nurse Drew when he's hungry.

Here are a couple of pictures of the boys rolling around on the floor. This is one of Drew's favorite activities; he smiles and squints his eyes when he sees Grant heading towards him. And he's becoming a good little fighter; Grant tackles him, and he'll grab Grant's hair or shirt and hold on tight! I know before too long he'll be initiating it!
