New Foods

We're just about at Sweet Pea and Little Man's birthday, so I'm starting to introduce some of the one-year foods, like strawberries:


Little Man actually liked these better than most fruits.  Maybe because they were slightly tart?  Sweet Pea loved them, of course.  I just cut off the tops and chopped them into baby pieces.

(Disclaimer: technically, Sweet Pea had strawberries months ago, when MJ fed them to her in a fruit salad, not realizing they are a one-year food.  No harm, no foul.  We just waited to give them to her again until now.  Coincidentally, the same thing happened to CC -- my dad accidentally fed her strawberries when she was 9-months-old.)

The twins also tried chickpeas, which aren't a one-year food, but they were handy one day and I decided to see if the kids liked them.  They seem to be perfect finger foods: not too big or too small, and soft enough to eat easily.



The kids weren't too crazy about them.  Everyone ate a few, but then they started getting thrown around the kitchen, so I called a quick halt to chickpeas.

Bonus picture of CC, because I believe this was her first time having chickpeas, too!
