Kelly, Louis, and Ruby

Our baby girl arrived 8 weeks early on July 7th, 2008 weighing just 3 pounds 3 ounces. After 33 long days in the NICU, Ruby finally came home with us and the fun began. We are one blessed family.

Adventures in Baby Food #2

Since our last blog about it, Ruby has been starting to really enjoy her food! She even opens her mouth when she sees it coming sometimes, (hooray!) She's eating about half a container of puree once or twice a day, and cereal once a day...

In the last few weeks we have added Peaches to her fruit purees. For veggies we've added Squash and Green Beans with success. Now Peas? That's a whole different story. Apparently Ruby HATES peas! She literally gagged on them, and made noises like she might vomit. We tried twice with the same result. haha... Poor Ruby, I won't make you eat peas! She does like guacamole though =)

In addition to purees, we've been letting Ruby sample whole foods too. She LOVES cold cucumber slices and melon, especially honeydew. She's also tried baby carrots too. I think she likes the mild flavors and the cold sensation on her gums. And so cute to watch her suck the life out of them. Now she just needs some teeth so she can chew!

Here a few pics of the Peas Experiment = FAIL
