Colton Samples Italian Cuisine

Since arriving in Italy, I have been doing my best to include some Italian staples into Colton's diet. He now eats a lot of bread with olive oil and parmesan cheese and pasta, for example. Every restaurant we go to is super sweet - they always bring him out a special pasta plate or a plate of fresh, cooked veggies free of charge. We've had some disasters in the process - Colton gagged on and almost threw up artichoke and olive oil - and we've found some things that Colton loves. Of course, just like his mommy, his favorites are not the best for him.

Colton has developed a special love for two things in particular. The first is the cornetto - a croissant-like pastry that the Italians eat for breakfast. Like most of their breakfast foods, it is a sweet bread.

Here is a picture of Colton "helping" me get a piece of cornetto into his mouth.

He dives in!

I never see his mouth open this wide for veggies, that's all I have to say!

The other food Colton loves is gelato. Yup, he's got great taste! :) With both the cornetto and gelato, Colton makes sure we know he wants his fair share. We caught him on video "asking" for both of his favorite foods.
