Om nom nom.

Today Cael got to put his favorite skill to good use. After months of shoving things into his mouth (his hands, his toys, my face, Clio's ear), he finally stuffed something in there that was actually intended to be consumed.

I erroneously thought that he couldn't make a mess with a slice of bread. I didn't even put a bib on him. Rookie mistake. Turns out that if you combine bread with the quantity of drool he produces you get a very soggy mush that smears like butter.

You'd think after all his practice gumming everything within his wingspan he'd spend less time chewing himself and more time chewing the bread. Apparently he thinks he can get through the hand to the bread that's tightly clutched in his palm if he is persistent enough. Either that, or he's developed a taste for his own fingers.

I fear either explanation.
