Today I watched the almost eleven month-old H man dismantle a carrot. For his afternoon snack I had given him a baby carrot that had been dipped in water and frozen. When I released this poor carrot from his drool soaked hands it had the consistency of a soft, slimy piece of rubber that was somehow, oddly, the color of a carrot. He doesn't have enough teeth to chew it, so he spent the time between inhaling his cheese and apple pieces gumming the carrot. As a nanny there are very few things that I find really gross and the texture of the carrot was getting close.
In general though, the H man is quite adorable. I am continuelly amazed at his ability to figure out that he must duck when pushing things around under the dining room table and how he is able to balance while clmbing on his toys. I am also equally amazed that no matter the number of times I say "no, thank you, let's not play/chew on the cords (phone, radio, lamp, etc)" he still continues to try to get to them. It's a good thing he makes me laugh, because there are some days when his cord fascination gets really frustrating.
