Fun with food

Now that Morgan is getting a bit older (and as we get more daring) she is finding meal time quite enjoyable. We have just about graduated completely from baby food - we just have a couple more jars we're trying to finish up - and pretty soon Morgan will be on whole milk. She already loves drinking water out of her Abby Cadabby straw cup. You may ask what does a typical meal with Morgan look like. Well here's a fairly accurate representation.

First, she sits and waits patiently for her food to arrive. Usually she'll make faces at Colby who by now knows what's coming and takes his place at the foot of Morgan's chair. More on this in a minute.



Then, she'll conduct a careful and thorough examination of her food to make sure what we have given her is indeed edible.



She'll manage to get in a few dainty and ladylike bites before...



... she decides she really needs to see all food items laid out in front of her in order to be able to fully appreciate the meal.



Morgan really takes her time savoring each bite.



Naturally she declares every meal a rousing success and shows her approval through the timeless art of clapping.



A little bit of cuteness here and there...



... followed by a small case of the sleepies. Eating is hard work!



And we finally wrap things up with Morgan showing off her kind and generous side by offering to share her delicious dinner with her best friend Colby.



And because no story would be complete without the classic embarrassing photo to share 20 years from now...



Though, in Morgan's defense, not every meal features her picking rubbing her nose.
