From the Mouths of (Our) Babes

Avery seemed uninterested in eating any hummus yesterday, until I started rubbing it on his face like a face mask. Of course, we left it there until his bath so he could have a hummus facial. When he was finished with his dinner, he just dumped the empty bowl on the floor.

Avery had a HUGE breakfast this morning, which included: 1. part of a waffle 2. a corner of a sunflower butter and strawberry jam sandwich 3. 4 Ritz crackers with chive cream cheese 4. part of a banana chocolate chunk muffin He was having so much fun, he had to wear shades. He also tried Ben & Jerry's chocolate ice cream at Grandma Sally's today and loved it. I am so in awe of his apetite!

Avery has taken a liking to all sorts of foods and drink. And he wants to feed himself and drink from his own little juice box. He generally gets the food and drink somewhere around his mouth area. Sort of. So it's messy. It's not the kind of messy that you can just take a sponge and wipe up. It's the kind of messy that gets in your hair, and you need that kind of soap that "cuts through grease" to wash your hands. He's pretty pleased with himself, too, until he realizes how gross he is. I'm just glad that he started to like to take a bath fairly recently because there is no way we could get the food gook off without totally submerging him in warm sudsy water.
