Grandmas know all the tricks

I just can't believe how smart Grandmas are - except when they feed sweet potato casserole to a 4 month old baby, then they are just naughty. Anyway, when we were trying to get Evie to eat baby food with meat in it Gramma C tricked her by alternating fruit with the meat which thoroughly tricked her into eating a whole jar of the new stuff. And last night when she wouldn't take her bottle(which I can't blame her for because her formula is gross), Grammy Marilyn put apple juice in it to trick her into eating. Grandma's sure do know all the tricks.
However, Evie does have a few adorable tricks of her own. When daddy comes home, she raises her eyebrows and tilts her head back and then spits at him for lack of a better description. It shouldn't be a surprise because he's been teaching her to spit for a long time. So now we can add funny looks and spitting to Evie's official language. I'll try to get it on video for you because it is so funny to watch. She is also doing a great job of feeding herself her little puffs these days, but you have to be careful because one of her tricks is shoving lots of them into her mouth, usually right before a big sneeze. Her cold hasn't seemed to slow her down much. She has just decided that the best thing to do with things that are in a basket or container of any kind is to take them out one by one and throw them all over. This especially applies to laundry I have already folded. Today she tried this trick on the candy bowl and discovered she really like salt water taffy - still in the wrapper. She has been trying to eat some leftover chocolate eggs from Easter and I thought I had them all out until she climbed into my lap crying and I discovered one in her mouth that she must have snuck in while she was "hiding" under the coffee table. I have to watch her so very carefully! At least she is really fun to watch!
