New Food Week - Carrots

New Food Week is like Shark Week, but fewer days and messier.

Mmm, carrots taste . . . good?

Enough time had passed since introducing oatmeal that Kaia said we could try something else. I voted for carrots. Evie Lu really took to them, but she was distracted by the constant flash of the camera and my hysterical laughter. This was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

A word on Evie Lu's eating style. Apparently she takes after her mother who as a baby ate with her arms up in the air. Most of the time she is not grabbing for the spoon, but instead is signaling that the field goal is good. In between bites Evie Lu likes to savor the last spoonful by sticking her thumb in her mouth which only serves to spread what didn't make it into her mouth all over.

Whoa, I'm done. But are there breadsticks or cheddar biscuits over there?


Evie Lu's reaction to the carrots was priceless as well. She'd open her mouth wide for a bit, but almost immediately after swallowing Evie Lu would make these amazing faces. The one below is a perfect example. Not exactly happy is it? I have made this picture the background for my computer because it makes me laugh every time I see it.
So, here is your challenge for the day: what is Evangeline thinking? You post it in a comment and the one that makes me laugh the hardest will be the new caption.

Alright people, you write the caption!

I look at that photo, and all I can think is: "Braaaiins! Braaaaiiins!"

She does look a little, you know, spooky in that pic. Don't get her spitting out pea soup any time soon.
