Applesauce Eyes

Thaddeus is so funny when he eats (what 13 month old isn't?) !! Whenever he doesn't want something you're trying to feed him, he swipes his hands all over the place in an effort to keep you from being able to put it in his mouth. Then if you actually do get it in there he will gag and stick out his tongue to get it out! Although there are times where he does it for the entire meal, sometimes it is even with food that he was enjoying just a moment before, and sometimes he starts enjoying it again if you just wait a minute!

This morning he was cracking me up. I was feeding him applesauce, which he was enjoying, but he decided he'd had enough, so he started flailing his arms all around in front of his face. The funny part was that he was squeezing his eyes shut, fully expecting something to hit him in the eye! Its a testament to how often that actually happens. When he went to open his eyes, it was as if they were stuck shut and he was mentally prying them open slowly; he was so convinced he was going to get something in them.

Yay! Cuteness!!!

Poor little Thaddeus is sick tonight, all bright with fever. We took pity on the little guy when he cried instead of going to sleep at bedtime, and "just this once" he was allowed to come downstairs with us to fall asleep on Nathan at the computer, which he loves to do. Nathan watched a video on utube of a guy playing "Indiana Jones" on the organ. At the end there was applause, and...

...Thaddeus clapped along with them!

Now Nathan is watching SNL clips and Thad is clapping along with the audience for that, too. The sound of the fat little hands patting together couldn't be any cuter!!! And the proud smile on his little face tops it all off. He's delightful!
