Gerber v. Beech Nut

This was for dinner Monday night. We try to mix it up, and Vivian used to love vegetables, but ever since we introduced meat into the picture she's been disenchanted with our selections. Fruits are always her favorite.
Vivian is clearly not happy with the chicken and sweet potato duo. She "discards" of them the only way babies know how.
Peaches are wonderful, but Vivvy doesn't trust us and spits them out thinking that we were "tricking" her into eating her C & SP. Truth is, we are. She's still not buying it and vetoes both peaches and chicken with sweet potatoes.
Vivian warily stares off into the distance as she decides whether or not this is a good bite or a bad bite.
Sweet Potatoes laced with chicken! Oh the humanity! The torture!
A huge tongues down to meats! Gerber Peaches may have won, but by the end of the night Vivian had had it with food in general. Rest assured, bathtime followed. And according to Vivian bath bubbles are tastier.

Get me out!

Vivian is not a huge fan of sitting still, so when we occasionally do work at Troy's office, we are left to put her in her pack n play. Typically she associates it with naptime, so when put in her "cage" during play hours, she gets very...cranky. As we work, we are serenaded by screams and entertained by her banging her head against the mesh walls.

Don't let the smiles fool you; they are brief and followed by a huge tantrum.
