Chow time!

So, Mommy and Daddy normally update the blog but Gwyneth and I wanted to personally tell you about our first experience with "solid" food.  First off, it is not solid.  It's like soup...not great, but at least it's something new.  

So Mommy got us pretty pumped up to try the new food.  She put us in our chairs on top of the table.  We must be special because Charlie doesn't get to do that!  She told us how great the food was going to be and how tasty it was.  Um, whatever!  She obviously has never tried this stuff.  It is N-A-S-T-Y!!!  The first thing that she fed us was green beans.  Yuck!  We wanted to make Mommy proud so we did our best but, yuck!  I'm pretty sure it was what wax paper tastes like!

Here we are listening to Mommy tell us how awesome the food was going to be.  She can be pretty convincing when she wants to be so we were hanging on to her every word.

Sometimes Mommy talks to quick for me to follow so I looked to Gwyneth for reassurance that everything was going to be okay.  Since Gwyneth is older than me I trust her judgment.  Rookie mistake!

Luckily, Gwyneth went first.  As you can tell, she didn't seem to care for the green beans.

I couldn't believe it but she actually started to spit it out back at Mommy.  There is no way I would ever have the guts to do that.

I just screamed to let her know how gross the stuff was.  Part of it was because it was my first time eating from a spoon and it was a little difficult to figure out but mostly it was because the stuff was disgusting!

Personally, I think that Gwyneth and I should get an A for effort for attempting this stuff.  You can't tell us how yummy something is going to be and then give us green beans!  How about some bananas or plums?  Even carrots would be better!  We were proud of ourselves for trying the food and even swallowing some of it.  Here we are doing our 'happy dance' to show how glad we are this first experience is behind us.  (Mommy has fed us some peas since then and they are MUCH better.  Now that we are getting the hang of the eating thing is kinda is fun, just like Mommy said.  Please don't tell her I said she was right!)

I'm sure we'll have a ton more experiences to share with you so keep checking for more updates.  Thanks!

Love,
Lillian & Gwyneth
