Pizza and Tamales

At Tyler's 12-month checkup this week, the pediatrician said, "Okay, you can cut him loose on all the solid foods he wants. No more baby foods - he can have whatever you have. Bring on the pizza and tamales!"

Well, he has already had some great exposure to pizza, even if we're not super quick on the tamales. But today he got a banana of his very own, and while he loved the flavor, I'm not sure about the cleanup. This season of self feeding requires parents to relinquish a lot of control... but he has to learn somehow.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure there is something organically great about putting bananas in one's hair.
