When you leave Daddy in charge of dinner…
I came into the kitchen after bathing McCanless to discover my baby girl under a pile of noodles. As she ravenously devoured them (or tried to), I stared silent and wide-eyed, not sure if I should quickly review the Heimlich, kill Mel, or just laugh. I laughed.
Mel then explained to me that last week at Mimi’s, she tried this new treat and gave Mimi and Mel a great laugh as she squeezed each and every noodle-O before squishing it into her mouth. (I think I was at Annie with McCanless-good thing.)
We have been giving her tastes of everything we eat and Mary Clare has become quite the little food connoisseur sampling everything from Mexican cuisine to broccoli casserole. (I just didn’t realize she could feed herself) She LOVES “real food” and I’m afraid that baby food days are over. She STILL has NO TEETH, which doesn’t keep her from gumming every piece of veggie, cracker, cake, ANYTHING! It is amazing.

No wonder she didn’t eat very much from me last night-she wanted to feed herself! Sorry baby girl! I’ll know next time. Mel, you’re a great dad! Kerri, believe me sometimes it’s much better to just laugh it off!
Love, NONNIE
