Mmmmm... Peas

There's nothing particularly fantastic or monumental about eating peas, unless, of course, you're an 8 month-old baby. In that case, eating peas can separate the babies that eat the ewey, gooey, slimey paste food from the babies that eat soft little squishable chunks of food. And today, Katrina has graduated to the latter class with more than a hearty grunt of approval.

I cooked up some peas to eat with dinner, and due to my less-than-keen cooking skills, they came out on the mushy side. After eating one or two I thought Katrina should be more than able to smash these around in her mouth, so why not give it a try? During the first bite, she had a strange expression on her face that then turned into a huge smile which morphed into a gaping-wide open mouth. After she snorted and wiggled around like a crazed monkey for a second or two, I got the idea that she might actually like these squishy green things. So, I kept loading them in until she was full--and it took a while. She just loved peas!

I'm excited to see Katrina progressing to more interesting forms of food. I'm also glad I'm not the one changing her diaper in the morning. (I love you honey!)
