More from Finn...

Today Kevin, Finn and I went to lunch at Jason's Deli.  It's nothing spectacular - just a deli with a salad bar that's loud to drown out the sound of a screaming kid or crying baby.  That's really why we went there, we knew that if Finn fussed no one would hear him. 

On the contrary, Finn had a lovely lunch that was a bit of a surprise to us.  He ate the strawberry yogurt that I brought for him, then I decided to try giving him some roasted red pepper humus and he loved it!  The salad bar includes ice cream or frozen yogurt - whatever it is, Finn loved it, too.  Here he is enjoying his treat:

Pizza Party

In an effort to expand Eli's palate beyond processed peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, we've been requiring (codeword for forcing) him to try new foods.  Here's what he's tried the past few weeks:
  • Spaghetti - Likes it!
  • Rice - Hates it! [He spit it out and said, "get these bugs out of my mouth"!]  :)
  • Penne - Likes it!
  • Chicken - Only likes it if it's a chicken nugget from Chick-fil-a or (gulp) McDonald's (which we never go to)
  • Mushrooms - Hates it!
  • Yogurt - Likes it!
  • Pizza - Loves it!
We've gotten pizza at a restaurant before with him, but the other night we made it at home and let Eli make his own little pizza for dinner.  Here's the final product...


And yes, he ate it.
