Between watching cooking shows, and helping plan for Mommom's 90th Italian-themed birthday party, Mommy and Daddy have been craving some homemade pasta. So this week "we" did a practice run for Mommom's party and made some fettuccine from scratch along with some simple homemade marinara sauce.
Isaac seemed to have a lot of fun enjoying his pasta. It was part sensory play, part delicious feast as his explored the texture and length of the long noodles. This was one of our messiest meals to date with Isaac flinging noodles as he tried to figure out the best way to get the food from his tray to his mouth.

Isaac was a natural "pasta slurper" which we caught in this VIDEO.
When Daddy got up to get seconds Isaac started raising his arms in the air like he was a student in a classroom, and it seemed like he was doing it to request "more" because when Daddy gave him some more sauce to put on his broccoli, he stopped. He's now doing this motion more often, and it's pretty entertaining.
The cleanup after this meal was pretty labor intensive and had to be done in shifts. After taking his tray off his highchair we did a preliminary wipe down of Isaac, and without the tray obstructing his view, Isaac was able to see the dogs waiting anxiously at Isaac's feet for leftovers. Isaac was pretty amused by the sight.
his messy face is no laughing matter...
