Mashed Potatoes

Well it took Cooper 4 years to like mashed potatoes. But that is not the story for Gwen. We tried them for the first time a few weeks ago. And on the first time she liked them. I think she has taken almost all foods she has been offered so far. She isn't quite as picky as her brother.
