First of all, let me explain my delay in updating by telling you that we have had the plague settle over our house. Chris has been home suffering from the flu since Thursday, and now the baby and I are sick too. I think I just have a sinus infection, though.
I took the picture below of Izzy waiting patiently while I heated us up a can of Campbell's Vegetable Beef Soup. I hadn't had any in years, and while shopping a couple of weeks back a pregnancy urge hit and I bought some. I've thrown up three times since last night, so I was having trouble trying to decide what to fix us for lunch, and I saw the soup and thought perfect!
I put about a third in his bowl to cool and the rest in my bowl and set it on the table. When I called him in, he came so slowly, fussing a little. I set him on his chair and he spooned up his first bite. "Mmmmm Mmmmmm," he said, a la classic commercial. He started shoveling it in as fast as he could, looking ever more delighted with each bite. He even had me help feed him a few bites towards the end, when it became more difficult to get on the spoon.
He points to his bowl then, look at mine, and says, "More!" So I put in a few more spoonfuls and he takes a big bite and actually claps his hands! Kid loves the stuff. He finishes this bowl, even tipping it up to drink every bit of the soup, then he again demands, "More!" So I dump the rest of mine into his bowl and he finishes up every bite. He looks ten times better now, but that probably has a little to do with the Ibuprofen bringing his fever down too.
Gotta go now - Dora is getting ready to become a big sister!!
