Burrito Boy

I love burritos. I love burritos alot. You can wrap just about anything in a tortilla, grill it or heat it up so the cheese gets melted and gooey, and it is delicious.  Especially the classic preparation - refried beans, cheddar cheese, salsa and sour cream. There are few things on this earth more delicious than the combination of salsa and sour cream!!  I spent about 5 years of my later childhood eating two homemade bean and cheese burritos for lunch every day. When I got to university, it turned into eating nachos almost everyday, with beans, cheese, sour cream and salsa. (Maybe not the healthiest, but still, practically every food group is represented!)

Well, I thought I should pass on this love to my son.  The last few days he's been having his first taste of black beans.   He already eats cheese (and loves it, just like his mom).

So I got a little adventurous, and decided Isaiah should have something delicious too.

Yesterday, Isaiah had his first mini black bean and cheese burrito. YUM!  He ate every piece and was looking for more. I was so proud. :)

It fits, this new found love of his for burritos, because we've been calling him our little burrito baby, or burrito boy, since he was a couple weeks old.  Andrew's parents were visiting, and as he was being held, all swaddled up tight, Andrew's mom said, "He looks like a little burrito!"  Well, it stuck, and every night after bathtime we wrap him in his towel, our little Burrito Boy.

While I don't have a picture of that original 'burrito' moment, here is Uncle JJ holding Isaiah at 2 weeks

I thought I'd leave you all with a fun face that I see more and more.... He is standing on everything, and is especially fond of clinging to my legs while I try to do something in the kitchen.  This is the "Mommy, please-pick-me-up face".  I try not to laugh....

"But Mommy, I need you!"

Oh, the adventures that are to come as he grows up.

What fun!
