You guys, I think I have a problem. I cannot stop taking photos (albeit crappy ones) of my kid eating messy food. I think my favorite part of mealtime is just seeing what kind of mess this child can make from simple items. Syrup in his hair, pasta sauce up his nose, peas in his ears, yogurt on his forehead, smushed blueberries in his diaper, jelly on his eyelashes. I love it all. I think some mothers would cringe just knowing they had to clean this up, but I grab my camera and then just let the dogs take care of the mess (what do people without dogs do?). Last week I posted chocolate pudding pictures. This week we're moving on to cupcakes. Like me, this kid can take a whole cupcake down in one bite. I have to break it up or else he shoves the entire thing in his mouth, icing first. So my child. I promise, he really does eat things other than junk...sometimes.
Is that not the look of pure joy?
And then he asked for a cookie.
Also, if you're participating in the Lucky (recipe) Linkup - and a big thank you to everyone that is! - the matches are up! Check out Erinn's post (HERE) to see whose recipe you'll be making and for all the details. I can't wait to see all your recipes on Monday, March 17th! Happy St. Pat's!
I'm the mom cringing! I can't stand food everywhere or paint or anything - I wish I could just let it go, but it literally makes me have a stomach ache it bothers me so much! I'm cracking it up to the fact that she didn't like baths for the longest time, so it was not an easy clean up.
My personal fave shot of the cute cupcake indulger is the one where he's licking his lips with pure joy and mischief in his eyes. Perfection!
Also, I think the number one baby registry item for moms-to-be should be a dog, I don't know how many messes we would have been left with without ours! Baby spit-up included! Ha!
Girl, I am the same way! Thank goodness for the Boon's wipability and a golden retriever!
The messy pics are too cute. My daughter tried hard not to make a mess so usually there is just a little bit around her mouth. I thought at this point we would get food in the hair and all over the face.
these are too precious! I'm seriously wishing we had made Bogey an indoor dog after toddler eating! ughhh!
haha! He is so adorable! I am the same way with SS. Matt says it is because she is contained in the chair, so I feel I can "capture" the pic!
...Also known as half the pictures in my phone. Plus, Abbie has refused to wear a bib for me for months.
That's what the washing machine is for, right?
Absolutely precious! Love how happy he looks with that cupcake. :) I have about a million eating pictures too if that makes you feel better...but mine are much worse quality!!
Adorable!! And thank goodness for dogs! I think I like messy food pictures bc it's one of the few times they sit still so it's a little easier to take (unlike chasing my child down the street in a coupe car - big belly and all).
It is because he is so cute when he eats!! It isn't your fault!
I love it! He looks so happy! Though I can't say I blame him. I have a smile on my face too when I'm eating a cupcake!
Get after it, buddy! If you can't enjoy your food what's the point of eating?!
And, I'm totally with you on the dogs. Ours is a mighty fine mess-cleaner-upper!
