Sweet Potato




We started solids with Emmy a few weeks ago, and it’s something she puts up with but doesn’t seem to love. In fact, I have to trick her into opening her mouth – she doesn’t willingly accept the food. But today we had a breakthrough. We tried sweet potatoes for the first time and she gobbled them up.
Emmy, as your mom I feel like I’m pretty in tune to your emotions. If you could talk, here’s what I think you would have said about each of the foods we’ve given you so far:
  • Rice cereal – yuck

  • Oatmeal – ick

  • Applesauce – better, but not great

  • Sweet Potatoes – now we’re talking!
The funny thing is, the only way I can get Abby to eat sweet potatoes is when I puree them and hide them in her pancakes. I wonder if you girls will be as opposite in your tastes as my sister and I. Only time will tell I guess. If my mom is reading this, I bet she’s getting a good chuckle and thinking “payback’s a $*@%#.”
