the food adventure continues

We are still working on getting Rafa to try a variety of foods and most importantly to us, to eat some stinkin' vegetables.

We decided to just serve him broccoli at lead once almost every day. Maybe he just needed to get used to seeing it. We have not had repeatable results, but our nanny sent me this video.

Woohoo!!

We have also tried to get veggies into dishes he likes. Since he's a big time oatmeal eater in the morning, that meant pumpkin oatmeal, until we ran out of canned pumpkin... Which we can't seem to find in stores. I guess we'll have to wait until this fall. We sometimes also have smoothies with silken tofu and spinach for a fairly complete meal. I also recently tried what my generation knows as fruit roll ups, but with a healthy dose of kale and spinach. For whatever reason, that looked palatable to Rafa and he loves it. I guess there will be more dehydrating in our future. We are trying to be patient about it, but definitely celebrate these moments watching our child consume something with any hint of a vegetable in it.
