Maybe she is my daughter after all

There is hope! Despite my daughter looking much more like her father than she looks like me, maybe she is my kid after all. I am a natural brunette with hints of red, brown-eyed and tan pretty well...when I try. My daughter is fair-skinned, blue-eyed and RED headed! My mother regularly calls her "little Michael" and several of my friends tease me for not naming her Michaela. Maybe the next child will look like me.

As if that was not enough, Abbie seems to have similar taste buds to her father. I shy away from (hehe) the veggies and would much rather have some fruit and crackers, but Abbie has loved every veggie we have put in front of her. Michael loves vegetables and will pretty much eat any of them that you cook and put on his plate...too bad for him that I never cook veggies!

But last night I had a break through...PEAS! I found them in our pantry last night and realized then that this was the only Stage 1 food Abbie has not yet tried. So why not?

Too bad her daddy was out cutting the grass because it would have made for an excellent video. Baby girl was NOT impressed. I got her to finish half a container, but she was none too pleased with Mommy Dearest. So there is hope...maybe she really is my kid...I can't stand peas!!!

Here she is right after we finished up...oh, and with any other foods, there is nothing left on her face because she smacks it all up!


"Mommy...what was that???"


"Seriously, can I have my green beans now???"
