corn on the cob

Drew likes to eat corn on the cob! Sweet corn is absolutely delicious in Michigan right now, so we've been getting it a lot, and Drew loves it. We started by cutting the corn off the cob for him, but he has been looking longingly at our ears of corn, so we decided to let him try it. Last week we had corn with friends at their home and Drew watched their daughter, who is his friend from daycare and church, eating corn from the cob. That's probably the real reason he insisted on trying it straight from the cob. He's trying to impress the ladies! :) Drew paused from eating to strike a pose for the camera. Notice the eaten piece on his tray; that's his second piece of corn!

Here is Drew in action eating his first piece of corn. Who would have thought that eating a vegetable for the first time in this way could be so novel?

Grandpa John sent over some salmon for Jana and she shared it with Drew. He LOVED it, and ate almost a third of a salmon filet!

Drew is quite the messy eater sometimes, and yesterday he had fun with his marinara sauce. Drew and I spent the morning together, which included making a trip to get the car washed and a visit to the Home Depot. The highlight of our Home Depot trip was Drew "driving" the riding lawn mowers. He calls them "tractor" and he was in his glory! Here's a very short video of Drew making a mess eating:

Drew and Jana have been working on "Ring-around-the-rosie." In this video Drew is singing "ring" and then he falls down (he hasn't learned all the lyrics yet).
