Mmmm...cupcakes!!

We recently went to one of, I assume will be many, birthday parties for one of Macyn's little buddies. The had little snacks here and there and although Macyn had her snack, she couldn't resist the temptation of a scrumptious cupcake. At first, my dainty little darling picked at the icing and would lick her fingers but then she started tasting the cake and realized there was something even more delicious under all that sugary goodness. Here she is shoving the cupcake into her mouth!!! When Macyn was first eating solids, I remember getting really grossed out at all of the food that she would get everywhere. I remember trying to wipe up every morsel off of her face before I would feed her her next bite...futile effort on my part but I tried anyways. Then I came to the realization that she is a child and she is going to get messy. It's not guaranteed that once the food reaches her mouth, it's going to stay there and I really had to calm myself down and just let her get as messy as she wanted (I'm still working on this but I've gotten a lot better!!)

Even though she didn't finish the cupcake, Macyn thoroughly enjoyed it. I was so tempted to finish her half eaten cupcake but she made such a mess of it, even pregnant mommy didn't want to eat it.
