Dinner Time

Jack and Cullen have been really into feeding themselves lately. Sometimes they flat out refuse to eat when I try to spoon-feed them. They'll clench their mouths shut and swat the spoon away. So I go along with their newfound independence and let them eat mostly finger foods nowadays. This has been great, but it makes about 10x the mess. Usually I only let them eat non-messy foods but I figured I could only justify feeding them nothing but Cheerios for so long. They needed some actual nutrition. So... the boys tried some new foods this week, including Colby Jack cheese, banana chunks, blueberries, broccoli, and the now-infamous black beans! What a mess! Luckily, I had the foresight to strip them down before letting them eat the beans- but their seats, bodies and the floor were all completely covered in beans! They were so darn cute eating them, though, so I guess I didn't mind spending the next 45 minutes cleaning up :-/







P.S. Notice how Cullen wiggles his feet every time he gets a bite in his mouth! haha

P.P.S. These were taken last week while they were still a little sick, hence the yucky coughs. Also, we have the loudest dishwasher in existence.
