Final Veggie Count!

It took a bit over a month, but Luke has officially tasted/squished/spat up/flung/chewed-upon 29 vegetables! (Take that, France!) 

 sampling a roasted parsnip

Favorites include anything cruciferous: kale, broccoli, purple cabbage. 
Dislikes: well- it's hard to tell. My kid appears to be one of those strange babies who won't eat. If you've met him, you know how stubborn he can be. He is adamant that any food that enters his mouth is brought there under his own power. He won't eat purees, steamed chunks of food... nothing. But he'll happily sit in his chair and slurp on a chunk of broccoli for 15 minutes, so for now, we're going to have to be happy with that. Hopefully some day soon he'll catch on to that whole "swallowing" thing.
