Favorite Foods

Since we first started feeding him "real" food, Lucas has proven himself to be a very adventurous eater. He loves spicy foods - barbecue sauce and salsa. Phil gave him a lemon the other day (yes, I know...good job dad). He made a face after tasting it, but went back for several more tastes. He prefers his green beans with Dijon mustard and balsamic vinegar (don't ask how I found that out). He eats just about everything that I feed him and is always eager to try new things off of the big peoples' plates. Currently the only thing he won't eat is plain cheese.  Weird. He grilled cheese, cheesy pasta, and string cheese, but a bite of cheese off the block...NOOOO!!! (This aversion began when he had a stomach bug a few weeks ago...don't really know what the connection is). This week's favorites include: pears, turkey meatballs (made by mom with wheat germ, sweet potatoes, and applesauce), grilled cheese, and any flavor of yogurt. I'm trying to keep his diet healthy and varied, in hopes that he will continue to be a good eater (and maybe a good little sous chef) as he gets bigger.

 Ahhh...so good!

More, please!
