Izzy Eating Pizza crusts

I love pizza.   I could eat two pies on my own on a good day.   I think BJ’s Pizza makes my favorite pizza, but I really want to visit Chicago and try some real Deep Dish pies.

This past week, we had lunch at Cici’s Pizza with some of Ciri’s coworkers.   Izzy has started eating solid and she is doing great with whatever we give her.   The diapers are hell, but she’s having a blast snarfing sweet potatoes and green peas and carrots and anything else you can liquefy.   Ciri bought her a fancy space age sucker thingamabob that lets her suck on solid foods without choking on the actual food.   It’s a pretty neat little gizmo and it’s won tons of awards.   So far Izzy’s only had apples, but, she’ll sit there and suck on the little chunks of apples until the juice runs out.

At the pizza place, she started to get a little fussy.   I brought along a sippy cup with some juice, but she didn’t want it.   Instead she kept reaching out for my pizza, so I handed her the crust of my cheese and pepperoni slice.   She grabs it and stuffs it right in her mouth.   At that moment, I knew she was going to take after her dad.   If that’s not enough to convince you, well there’s more.

After a few minutes, she would soak through the crust and in order to keep her from choking on it, I’d flip it to the dry side.   Well, she wasn’t having any of that!   I had to pry her fingers off the pizza crust before I could flip it, and in the short amount of time that it wasn’t in her hand, she would scream!   I’m raising a pizza natzi!   She went through three pizza crusts and along with the crusts she had three seperate tantrums.   Luckily, each was less furious than the last.

I’m happy to announce that Izzy, without a doubt, is going to be just like daddy.   Mua ha ha ha…
