Yesterday Grammy and Papa arrived for a 10-day stay, full of many fun things to come, including Blanden's much-anticipated First Birthday celebration! To kick off the week, they came bearing a little gift for Blanden: homemade sugar cookies shaped like little (or, rather, big!) baby feet. Papa has been anxiously awaiting this moment (the moment when Blanden can try sweets) for a whole year!
The result: Blanden is unsure but intrigued. He wasn't quite sure what to do with the whole cookie so he thought it might be a good idea to toss it over the side to share with Ella. (After all, she always knows what to do with the food he gives her!) But we caught the cookie at the last minute, broke it into little, more manageable pieces for Blanden, and he ate a few bites. If he's anything like his mom (for whom cookies are her most favorite treat), he will be devouring them in no time at all...Or, he could end up like his dad, who isn't all that into sweets. The verdict is still out.
