New gastronomic experiences

Two special eating-time things:

1) Now that Isaac is sitting up like a champ, they are transitioning him to eating his meals at the wee little table at his school. He sits in a munchkin chair, with help from his adult girlfriend Alicia for now, and spills stuff all over himself. He made such a mess today that he went through two outfits in the 5 hours he was there -- they sent him home in some stranger's jeans (which are really rad, by the way...do I have to give them back?).

2) He is getting better and better at feeding himself Cheerios. He can't pick them up with his thumb and forefinger yet, as you and I would, so he comes up with artful ways to coerce them into his mouth. He is particularly fond of the fist-shove, where he rakes a bunch up with his hand and then makes a fist, which might force one near the outside of his hand. If it does not, he opens his fist and bangs the Cheerios loose against his tray and tries the whole process over. If he does get one on the outside, he rubs his fist inelegantly over his whole mouth, trying to dislodge the Cheerio into his waiting pie-hole. I made a movie of him eating a Cheerio that is not the greatest, but it is a movie nonetheless. The Cheerio-eating is at the very beginning, and at the end you get to hear the new Isaac-speak and you can realize why I tell you that I am quite sure he is trying to say real words.
