Let Them Eat Green Beans!

I am very excited to announce that both girls are now able to eat baby food! A few weeks ago the girl's pediatrician started Elizabeth on cereal once a day, but I learned yesterday from Abigail's GI doctor at Hopkins that cereal can actually be very binding and cause constipation in preemie bellies. She recommended that we not give them any cereal but start veggies once a day. Today I gave both girls their first real taste of food... Green Beans! Elizabeth liked them and ate pretty well. Abigail took a few good bites and then started to spit it out for fun. It was a great first moment. I am just so excited that they got to eat some food before I had to go back to work.
