where's the love, mommy?!

this photo was taken a month or so ago -- i think he was trying tomato for the first time -- in preparation for a birthday trip to anthony's (lucky kid). anyway, it's a fairly good representation of our gradual entry into toddlerland. desmond is definitely becoming more of an individual and letting his likes and dislikes be known (loudly).

that said, he's still pretty amazing about eating almost anything healthy you put in front of him...but the occasional side helping of bananas (his hands-down favorite food), pizza, or a milkshake definitely helps wash it all down. which reminds me that we haven't posted any of his forays into ethnic cuisine: middle eastern, indian, ethiopian...he loves it all!

-rhr %:-)

p.s. oh, and i promise we'll post about something non-food related...uh, yeah...sometime soon.
