Adventures in Dining

Just when I thought cooking and eating couldn't get more fun, Marco pulls up to the table.

Although we still enjoy the simplicity of baby jarred food - Amen! - Marco has graduated to lots of big boy food and loves it. Project food immersion - so far, so good... spicy pasta, baked potatoes, roasted tomatoes, roasted turnips, roasted carrots, baked chicken, Grandma Ila's meat sauce, pizza, cheese, Grandma Alice's kroeckeroni pasta, the ever popular, mac and cheese and most recently, Grandpa Graf's beef barley soup (shown here).

Each night seems to be an exercise in eating endurance with choruses of "All done? No?" Last night he had six ounces of chunky beef barley soup, baby yogurt mixed with cereal and then polished it all off with two manic handfuls of Cheerios. I unbuttoned his pants and reclined his chair.

Did he have the remote in one hand with the other hand down his diaper?

He knows he has it good in the kitchen with his mommy's cooking! Now he just needs to graduate to Daddy's pizza! :)
