I think carrot strips are a once per week kind of veggie because it's higher in sugar. Hopefully soon he'll eat some lettuce! Since he ate a carrot, you can try strips of zucchini, squash, sweet potato, apple, or mango and see if he's up for any of those yet. You could see if you can fake him out by cutting the lettuce into thinner strips too.
