organic veggies

ever since starting solid food, the bulk of ava's calories have come from grandma's organic veggies. on this visit to thunder bay though, ava got to experience organic veggies in a whole new way : straight out of the garden, dirt and everything!

september is an excellent time to sample northern ontario produce, and ava got fresh samples of tomatoes, watermelon, carrots, squash and corn. ava's favourite item was clearly the cherry tomatoes and she quickly developed a strategy for consuming a tomato without molars. first, she would bite a chunk out of the skin and spit that out. then, she'd pop the tomato in her mouth and squish it around until all the yummy juice was extracted. then, she'd spit the remaining pulp back on the ground. messy . . . but effective.
