19 month update

We had broccoli with cheese sauce tonight for dinner. Eddie, like most kids, really likes his dipping sauces. We completely missed when this was happening, but I looked over to see his face covered in cheese. I don't think the photos do it justice, but the bottom one is after he wiped some of it away. His eyelashes were yellow--he looked like Tammy Faye with yellow mascara.

He sure liked it tho. We had pork with shake and bake and he ate a bunch of that. Speaking of, he is starting to eat a lot more meat than he used to. We actually bought him tofu, hoping he'd like that because he just wouldn't eat much meat. Lately tho', sloppy joe sandwiches and baked chicken are all deemed edible, much to our delight.

I keep wanting to say it's Ed's 22 month update, but it's just 19. How he jumped from 18 to 22 in my mind...

People comment on how well he eats with utensils and what a 'neat' eater he is. I like to credit Den for that :)

Ed seems to be enjoying nursery school, where he has learned to dance and play with other kids. He has taken up a new toy (not to replace balls, but rather supplement)--socks. He loves to haul his socks that he pulls off the changing table all over, up the stairs and down the stairs. It's pretty funny, but I don't mind. He also likes to put things away, especially my shoes--much to dad's delight. He puts them in the closet, on the shelf we have for shoes.

Ed's getting pretty good at drinking out of a regular cup, but no reason to chance that with anything but water in the highchair, with a bib. Our new nanny starts on Monday and both Den and I are ecstactic.
