Tater Tales

Picture Day

Tater Tot and Small Fry posed for some pictures recently.  If you don't mind indulging a mama, here are a few of them.

Thanks for letting me share.

Independence

Mealtimes at our house used to be so easy.  Small Fry was happy to have things spoon-fed to him.  It took 15 minutes, tops, for him to be finished with supper.

Now that he's trying to feed himself, it's a whole different ballgame.  He'll hold a spoon, but prefers to use his hands.  It's especially fun with applesauce and yogurt.  I haven't had the courage to give him spaghetti yet.

 

Sometimes he tries to use the spoon, though it's usually upside down.

 

There are other times when he tries to use both his hand and the spoon.

 

Either way, the end result usually looks something like this.

 

Thank goodness for baby wipes and Johnson & Johnson Baby Wash.

There's no denying the fact that when your little one starts smiling at you, you're hooked in a whole different way.

   

I'd stay and blog longer, but there's some mutual smiling that needs to happen around here.   Of course, Tater Tot has been smiling for a while now.  Since I wasn't blogging when he was a baby, here's a picture of Tater Tot around the time of his first smile.  It's also the point at which my heart completely melted, poured right out of my chest, and formed a pool right at my feet.  It was fabulous.

    

Come to think of it, it still is.
