Food for Thought

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Henry is right-handed. He holds his crayons with his right hand, throws things with his right hand, and picks his nose with his pointer finger of his right hand. The only thing he doesn’t do with his right hand is shovel food into his face. Of late, he’s been very unhappy with anyone else feeding [...]

Dairy King

Friday, May 28th, 2010

While Henry still rejects fruit like a nudist rejects underpants. Meaning, we can buy it for him all we want, but when push comes to shove, he’s naked. That really didn’t make any sense… Anyway, fruit aside Henry loves to eat, and is getting pretty good at the spooning and forking and general shoveling. He’s [...]

Cornage: A Photoessay

No words necessary, methinks.

Feed Me!

Friday, January 29th, 2010

There is nothing better than watching Henry develop as a little person. Each time he does something new, I want to give him a cake and buy him presents and give him a big hug. (Usually, he just gets the hug.) But with each new thing that he learns, there are always bumps in the [...]

The boy can eat

Monday, December 28th, 2009

Henry’s cold is a bit better now. While he was really sick, he wasn’t very interested in eating much, but now that he’s on the mend, he’s been eating like a sumo wrestler in training. In a single day, he’ll eat yogurt, oat meal, fistfulls of Froot Loops (I can’t believe I’m publicly admitting we’ve [...]

Oink

Friday, December 18th, 2009

So, I’ve been sick. Still am, in fact. It’s the sickest I’ve been since I can remember. On Saturday, I started to feel a bit out of sorts. Sunday, I was worse. By Sunday night, I was shivering and feverish, and I was worse Monday morning. I stayed home from work on Monday, of course. [...]

Gourmet

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

I don’t know if I was an adventurous eater as a child, but as an adult, I’ll pretty much eat anything that isn’t mayonnaise laden or too heavily dairy. Kristen also eats just about everything, although with some things (sushi, BBQ) it takes some cajoling before she tries it and, eventually, eating everyone else’s dinner. [...]

Mild Sauce Is for Wussies

Monday, August 17th, 2009

This is birthday week for Henry, meaning he’ll be lavished with presents and kisses and hugs and cake. Pretty much a standard week, actually. I’ve been reminiscing a bit the past few days, looking at old pictures and videos. (If you’d like to look at some yourself, see some pictures here and videos here.) And [...]

Betty Crocker’s Godson

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Henry’s approved food list has expanded in the past week. He’s eaten and enjoyed a ground turkey-pasta mixture, some provolone cheese, watermelon, and much more. Of course, none of them can compare with his new favorite food. That would be, of course, cake. Now I love cake. Kristen loves cake. Heck, everyone loves cake. But [...]

Liver and Onions

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Henry visited the doctor on Monday for his 9-month check-up. Our son is long — 29 inches — and just under 20 pounds (19 lbs 6 oz to be exact), but a pin prick to his pointer finger showed that he has slightly low iron. What does this mean? Well, nothing much, except that he [...]
