Is the food strike over???

Callie has been on a food strike for over a month now.  About a week before she got sick she stopped eating baby food, which she had been really enjoying.  Then she got sick and since then she was on strike!  We have been offering her baby food at least once a day, but she would just shake her head, turn away and start to fuss.  She still doesn't like to put any sort of table food in her mouth, but that's another hurdle to get over . . .

So tonight at dinner we had some carrots ready for Callie to eat and when I offered her the spoon she turned her head like before and I thought it would be hopeless.  Well, she started to sort of cry and had her mouth open and eyes closed, so I got sneaky and put the spoon in.  She wasn't too sure about it at first, but then it was like she remembered the taste and started opening her mouth for more!  We did some singing and cheering to keep her excited about the food and she ate almost the entire container!!!  Hopefully she will be ready for breakfast tomorrow :)
