Carrots Are the New Peas

We have thrown in the towel on peas. The past few days Em had made it very clear that peas are not her thing. She tried to like them, even going so far as to close her eyes and open her mouth, waiting for the spoonful of peas only to find out they still taste like peas.

We know she loves solids (the girl can't get enough rice cereal), so we figured we'd move on to a different food and try peas down the road. I figured she would like carrots but I wasn't expecting her to love them. After the 1st spoonful she grabbed the spoon out of my hand and just kept licking it. She then went on to eat half of the container and would have ate the whole thing had it been up to her. She is a solid eating machine - you should see the way she eyes ice cream!
