how much actually made it into his tummy?

Cameron has long been a very independent baby. He has always preferred to feed himself, even when he really wasn't capable. Last night at dinner he was especially excited to eat one of his favorites. Tomato pasta soup. He was really getting into it. Before long I realized that in his zeal to consume his yummy dinner, most of it was landing on his shirt or in his lap. If one looks closely to the top picture you can spy quite the accumulation of food in his lap! He was so happy! Very early in my mothering of children, I came to learn that boys are not truely happy unless naked or engaged in a mess of some sort. Hence the complete glee seen in the bottom picture of Cam and the resistance he gave me to a good cleaning. I could hardly get him away to the much need shower and shirt soak in the bathroom. He was none too pleased, but I won of course. He was promptly tossed into a nice warm shower and de-messed just in time to cuddle down with Mama and sleep. My favorite way to end the day. Cuddled up with a clean and sweet smelling baby! One of the simple things:)
