The Spaghetti Rite of Passage

It seems that there comes a day in every child's life, where they are introduced to the noodly food that is spaghetti. Laughter and messes ensue.

This day has come for Ava. It did not disappoint.

We had some leftover noodle soup stuff I'd made. You basically cook vermicelli or angel hair pasta in chicken broth, add a few spoonfuls of a thick marinara and a dash of Italian seasoning. We drained the broth from the leftovers, gave them a good chop to create safe finger food, and plopped some down in front of Ava. She loved it.

Watching her figure out how to pick up the noodles and get them in her mouth was pure entertainment. We laughed especially hard as we watched one dangling noodle get sucked into her mouth. However, that is the ONLY time I'll feed her something noodl-y in that awesome chair. I found noodles in every nook and cranny on that thing.
