Prepare to be delighted

I'm pretty sure that the only people that will be interested in this post at all will be myself and my mother.  It is truly a splurge of pictures of by bouncing baby boy enjoying his very first chocolate chip cookie (yep, my "famous" ones).

Still, I must post these for anyone who may find a very-nearly-but-not-quite 9 month old chowing down as entertaining as I do.

Let me begin by telling you why today was the day for the first cookie.  Well, I needed him to stop following around in the kitchen and climbing up my leg whenever I paused in one spot.  So I did the responsible, motherly thing and strapped him into his seat and fed him chocolate.  Pure awesome momminess, right?

Of course I stripped him of his shirt.  One cannot truly enjoy a cookie when fully clothed.

He had a bit of a difficult time getting the thing into his mouth without it crumbling.

He now pauses to reflect on the individual flavors in this delectable treat.  I believe he can distinctly taste the extra vanilla I dump in there.

And then he just shoves what he could into his drooling mouth.

Searching for big crumbs...

Doesn't he look like he's raising his hand to ask for another?  Or is this just the crazy imaginings of a sleep-deprived mommy?

Look.  At.  That.  Grin.

I am now melted into a puddle at his feet.

He then had this psychedelic-hippie moment where he spaced out and stared at absolutely nothing.  Chocolate overdose, perhaps?

Maybe this cookie is the reason why he didn't nap the rest of the day...
