we were eating mashed potatoes (and roast and carrots) at my parent's house the other day, and we let aidan feed himself. he was LOVING the mashed potatoes ... and found a better way to get them to his mouth than the spoon that 'ama gave him.
after dinner, and he was all cleaned up, he decided that he wanted to cuddle with great-grandma hendrickson and see what she was doing. it was really sweet.
