i think i had mentioned that a few weeks back our little girl that use to eat ANYTHING had suddenly become my greatest fear- a picky eater. she would shake her head at everything and even say 'no'. but suddenly, it's back to a wide open mouth at the dinner table. yippee.
the other night, we had a feast. we roasted our 11 pound turkey while we were at church, and afterward made some yummy bread crumb dressing with celery and onions. i opened a can of green beans to balance the meal- adding some delicious gravy to make them just a bit saucy. i place jenna's little plate on her tray, and she headed right for the green beans. i turned to dave and whispered, 'is she seriously eating a vegetable?' (i didn't want to tip her off that it was something good to eat). she ate at least a 1/4 cup serving that night. so last night, with our turkey leftovers, we whipped up some more gravy and added turkey to serve over rice (try it, so yummy). i thought the green-bean-eating must have been a fluke, so i opened another can with dinner last night. not only did she devour the green beans yet again, but she also could not get enough turkey and rice. so, i am happy to announce that my non-picky eater is back! i don't know how she does it with 2 and 2 1/2 teeth, but she does.
now if only i could get her to feed herself without getting 95% of it on the floor, i would be really happy. when dave sets our plate down, he always sits me next to jenna so that he can eat uninterrupted.
here is some old pictures because i don't have new ones to blog-
how cute are they?! i dressed them up to match, and then we stayed home all day. this is the best picture they would give me.

Hmmmmm Adam does the same thing when we eat or go to a restaurant. I ALWAYS sit next to Ethan. I think it's a guy thing! I'm glad Jenna's not picky anymore. It's so frustrating when they won't eat anything you give them!
Lucy used to be a great eater. Now she's very picky. One day, I asked her why she didn't eat something she used to like. She gave me that withering look of hers and said, "Because then I was a baby." Duh.
Ella and Jenna look like they could be sisters!
Emma and Abbey loved green beans as babies and still do to this day. Haven't tried them with the twins yet; been meaning to.
