So, Mac has been doing pretty well with the finger foods these days. I would describe his eating habit as something like a hobby or an art form to him. By that I mean, each piece of food is not just something to put your mouth, but also something to try squeezing in your hands, smashing into the tray, squishing into your hair, and holding in your mouth while you make weird noises. In between all of this, you take a bite and swallow it. I don't know what he calls this activity, but he sure likes making a mess. Ellis always complains of having food stuck on his feet every time he walks around in the kitchen after Mac has "eaten." (And I do use that term loosely). Thank goodness he doesn't know how to throw foods on purpose yet.
Anyway, we had some yellow squash the other day and Mac really liked it. In between making food for me and Ellis, I glanced over and saw him take some bites..."phew!," I thought. Then a couple of minutes later, I looked again and saw that he had discovered how "squashy" it was. He had gathered a handful of it and was just squeezing it and squishing it everywhere! His hair was so slimy! Also, he had a cold and tons of green snot was mixed all over his face along with the squash...I won't gross you out by pointing out the boogers in the pictures, but you can see that he was having a good time.
