Little Chef (and it's not Remy from Ratatouille!)

Aaron was sitting in his high-chair tonight as I did the dinner dishes and after a little while I think he got bored (dishes are so exciting you know!) so he started his little whine, whine, whine song. Anyone who knows Aaron knows his love for Oreos (and yes, what kind of horrible mom feeds her 8-month old Oreos but he loves them so much I can't resist!) So to keep him content until I could finish I gave him two TINY pieces of an Oreo to munch on.

A few minutes later I turned around to find my own Little Chef working up a messy, gooey concoction of Oreo cookies and water from his sippy cup into one big mess of Oreo mud pies. I took the picture from my cell phone (the only camera within reach!) and it really doesn't do it justice. Aaron had smeared his mixture EVERYWHERE--the black Oreo slime was all over his tray, sippy cup, and his own face, hands and clothes. But it was so adorable to see him so engaged in his project and he was so proud of his sweet little mess. I just love this little man (including all his gooey creations!)
