Give Peas a Chance?

This afternoon, Nathan and I took Holden to his six-month well-baby visit. As usual, I had a bunch of questions, and this time I asked about starting solids. The doctor told us we could start vegetables and fruits now that Holden was six months, so I immediately wanted to get started! 

Our doctor told us to start with vegetables first because fruits are sweeter and Holden would probably have a harder time transitioning from fruits to vegetables rather than vegetables to fruits. So, with that in mind, and a slim selection at the grocery store, we picked up some peas. 

I hate peas, and Nathan does not really like them either. We should have known - genetics don't lie. 

Holden is used to rice cereal with delicious mama milk in it. Holden gave peas a few spoonfuls chance, but after about four tries, it was time to call it a day.
