Fun With Food...

I know, it has been an extremely long time since I last posted something to the blog and I have plenty excuses but instead of wasting time with excuses, I will just bombard the blog with new posts. :)

Life with a toddler, as I am sure you can guess, is extremely different than life with a newborn. One of the biggest differences in my opinion is meals. We went from feeding a crying baby whenever he was hungry a simple bottle, to a toddler that eats at meal times with the family, and eats what the family is eating, to an extend. However, our very stubborn toddler likes to do it all by himself. So that includes a much bigger mess than I had ever anticipated.

We have gotten lucky that he is not a very picky eater and has taken to most foods we feed him. He is particular about some textures - peaches especially - but overall it is not too bad.

I wanted to share a couple of the funnier good moments that I was actually able to catch with the camera.

Ravioli Fun:

I also like to call this one, "monkey see, monkey do" since he caught on to Matt and I blowing off his food when it is hot.

Here is the final result of him feeding himself raviolis...

He went straight to the tub after this!

And here he is eating butter noodles. Finally saying yes to something, for a while it was no to anything you asked him.

Another funny time with some turkey soup:

So good, it required 2 spoons!

Such a ham!

And I thought he was done so I tried to take the bowl away, guess I was wrong!

Finally, we will call this "like mother, like son" because this child LOVES his french fries, especially with ketchup.
