Despite the fact that Micah has been a toothless wonder, he does a really good job eating adult food. I originally wrote this post the week of October 19, when we went out to dinner twice (Italian food) and then he had chicken (okay, vegetarian chicken – he loves it!) and mixed vegetables. He was busy feeding himself and making happy noises (yum, yum, yum) when I sat down across from him. Micah paused for a moment, and held out his hand with a piece of chicken and leaned forward to touch my mouth. I opened wide and made a big loud chomping sound as I ate the piece of chicken (think Cookie Monster). Immediately, Micah exploded into peals of laughter! He thought that was the funniest thing ever! He grabbed more food, and tried to feed me over and over again, each time laughing more than the last. How fun is that?
All I can say is that this is now a regular occurrence. Pretty much every meal, Micah likes to feed me, and I have to play the role of Cookie Monster and chomp down on his hand and make loud eating noises. This game always leads to very deep belly laughs, and we have so much fun!
