Food Aversions

Everett has figured out a new trick when he doesn't want to eat something: He sticks out his tongue and lets the food fall out. We tried last night to get him to eat some black bean vegetable soup, but he would not have it. He wouldn't even eat the bread I made, which he usually loves.

We finally got desperate enough to try to spoon (read: force) feed him, but this is when he employed his new trick. It was like a reflex: as soon as the food entered his mouth, out went his tongue and everything we just tried to accomplish. He was nice about it, but just very persistent (kind of how he is about everything). The whole thing was so funny-looking I decided to take a couple of pictures for your viewing pleasure. Betcha feel pretty lucky now, don't you?

P.S. Notice how dirty his shirt is? This is the result of Everett dumping food out all over himself.
