Natalie tried her first grown-up food this morning (that rice cereal doesn't count as people-food): Carrots!
Here are some pictures of our mashed carrot adventure, about which Mikey and I were super excited and Natalie was entirely unenthused.

The yummy carrots from our local farm share, steaming away:
Excited to be mashing them up in the handmill:
Poor, unsuspecting Natalie:
Taking her first bite:
Not sure what to think about this new taste....
Deciding it does NOT taste good:
Starting to express her displeasure over the whole experience:
Seriously questioning the need to eat more...
And, ultimately, deciding that screaming bloody murder is the best way to make the carrot force-feeding stop:
We'll be going in for Carrots: Round Two tomorrow.
oh my LANDS she's too cute. Seriously. STOP. I love her. Also? Carrots aren't so bad, sweetie. Give them a try for your mommy & daddy. They're trying SO hard! :)
ReplyDeleteHeh, that kid has a future in civil disobedience.
ReplyDeleteya know...not that i'm an expert in baby food, but i am an expert in my own dislike for carrots. however, i love them when mashed with sweet potato, and perhaps a little cinnamon or nutmeg.
ReplyDeletewhat do you think?
