Over the last 2 weeks Spencer has graduated from baby food to real people food. Upon graduating he refuses to eat baby food so I am constantly trying new thing for him. So far it's been waffles and Lucky Charms. You should see him bash some Lucky Charms. Everything else has been a ho hum reaction. So last night I went to the store and bought a bunch of those microwave pasta bowels, Goldfish, Ritz Crackers, and the always favorite Fig Newtons.
So for lunch today Spence had Spaghetti with a Fig Newton for dessert. With every bite of spaghetti Spencer's smile got wide. And as the tomato sauce ring grew bigger around him mouth his laugh got louder. I hadn't seen him like anything so much. He had spaghetti hanging from his mouth as he laughed at me laugh at him. I was laughing so hard at his joyful giggles. Then it was over and he was done eating. So I went to the kitchen to clean the tomato sauce from my feet and clothes. When I came back a brought his Fig Newton.
When I handed it to him he looked at me like he couldn't believe I was trying to give him this pastie squishy thing. But he was going to try it anyway. He bravely took his first little nibble. He's face screwed up like it was the worst thing he ever had in his short life. THEN all of the sudden his eyes grew wide and he looked at me then at the Fig Newton. Then he looked at me again and shoved the whole thing in his mouth! I didn't know his mouth was that big!
I rushed over the top of a chair my finger diving in his mouth to dig it out. I got the cookie and he looked at me the tears beginning to well up in his eyes. I quickly took a little piece of the newton and put it in his mouth with that it was all better. He got his Fig Newton. Man you just got to love him.

What a cutie! I was always afraid to give the kids Basketti, too messy, that's how I determine which foods they eat. If I don't want to clean it up they don't get to eat it!
