Carrots

Jacob had his first taste of carrots tonight.  I think he's starting to get used to trying new things since this was the 4th vegetable he's tried.  He seemed to like it and ate the entire jar.

Peas

Jacob has started solids!!!  We were so excited to give him his first bite of baby food!  Carter chose to start him with peas.

Jacob was not a fan of peas.  He definitely takes after me in that department.
