A Day Of Food And General Cuteness

Lots of firsts today:
*Ashton's first lunch at a Japanese restaurant. He enjoyed chewing on the pickled veggies and loved the seaweed salad dad fed to him using chopsticks! (No raw fish this time...yet)
*He discovered animal crackers! Grandma brought them last weekend and today decided it was time to open the box. About 4 crackers in to the experience he even forced himself to take 4 steps COMPLETELY SOLO just so that he wouldn't have to put the box down to get from point A to point B! He tipped over after the 4th step, but it was still adorable.
*I was chopping garlic while feeding him dinner and he pointed to one of the whole cloves. Those of you who have met Ashton know that when he points to something you had better give it to him, so I did. And he sucked on it...the entire clove of garlic. I had to pry it out of his hands about a minute into gut-busting laughter - he had no idea what was so funny.
*General cuteness - the last 4 pictures are just because.

Enjoy!

He is so cute! I love the garlic shots! Those animal crackers are my favorite too... I guess you know what you can use for bribes in his future :-)

Have a super awesome time with Julie this weekend! Wish we could be there!
Love you all!
