1st Cookie

Hello everyone. Sorry for the long pause. I've been distracted but we've had such exciting developments these last couple days that I had to put up some pictures and words. Max had his first cookie...and he loved it!



It was truly hilarious because he actually asked for milk as I gave him the cookie. He squeezed his little hand and made the sign so I handed it over.



He had so much fun with his cookie that he kept forgetting to eat it. It took him at least an hour to finish it. We tried to put him down for a nap but he clutched the cookie in his palm so tightly we just let him sleep with it. Must take after his Mama on that one. It was too funny.



For anyone shocked that he hasn't had a cookie yet I just want to set the record straight. He has been offered many cookies but he just wasn't interested in food. In fact, he's looked so forlorn and envious of other's cookies while in bakeries and stories that more than 5 complete strangers have bought cookies for him. Never eats them. Just looks at them and hands it back. Then *poof* on Monday he decided that he wanted to eat and he's been eating reasonably well ever since. He loved his cookie and tonight he even dragged the whole bag of chips ahoy out of the pantry cupboard and brought it over to me. Too funny.



I love his tough guy cookie monster look.

I'm dyin!!!! Yes, you were right to think that I would silently criticize you thinking you had withheld cookies all this time. I was gonna read you the riot act and send you the Cookie Monster Manifesto, but the revolution was put down. With a Chips Ahoy cookie.
