MMMM - Corn!

Joey has always LOVED vegetables. When he first started eating solids I made sure that I started him on vegetables and eventually fruits. From the beginning he only wanted vegetables. Apparently, fruits weren't that great. It was months after he started on gerber's baby food that he finally started liking applesauce and apricots! Now, the only fruits he really likes are cantaloupe and occasionally apple (on very rare occasion will he eat apple). Tonight for dinner I made barbecue chicken, mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob. Recently, Joey had his first corn on the cob at Chili's on Keith's and my birthday. So, I figured he would really like some tonight before they are totally out of season. He spotted the corn first and only wanted corn. He threw a HUGE fit. Unfortunately, the corn was too hot. So, I had to make him some green beans pretty quick. He ate a ton of green beans, mashed potatoes, and eventually corn for dinner. He didn't even bother with the chicken. Oh well, at least he ate a lot of vegetables! I just hope that he still enjoys vegetables when he gets older and always eats them!

Well, my doctor's appointment went well yesterday. Keith wasn't able to make it after all and Joey looked for him. He knows that Keith is always there and kept asking for him. He did okay, though. I was afraid that he'd be a total monster. Anyway, I gained another five pounds! I'm up to thirteen pounds! Woo hoo! Two more pounds and I'm at the hundred mark! Next visit will be emotional. My doctor will be leaving and we're meeting our new doctor. Rochester, NY is just 4 hours away . . . I think my doctor should make an effort to come and deliver this baby! Ugh, you don't always get what you want.
