Once upon a time, my sister Heidi and I went out for a girl date to the Barnes and Noble in Fairbanks. They serve Starbucks coffee which I have grown to love very, very mucho. I ordered my usual Pike Place Roast with a shot of caramel and room for cream, and Heidi and I both got the best sugar cookie I’ve ever tasted.
A certain tiny man was with us. He had a very fuzzy little head.
Do you want to hang with your Auntie Jenna? The one with the slightly manic eyes and the greasy hair severely in need of a shower?
Hey, your head smells pretty good . . .
Up popped a foot.
I examined the foot.
My eyes got slightly crossed looking at those tiny toes.
I took the foot in hand.
Well this looks like a tasty treat.
I think I’ll just give it one little smooch . . .
But a little kiss wasn’t enough. No sirree.
I think I’ll just . . .
And I’ll just . . .
And I’ll . . .
I hope you realize how comfortable I feel with y’all here–I wouldn’t go sharing that picture up there with just anyone.
Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. I had to cover those drugged-looking eyes.
Oops! Now that I’ve started, I can’t seem to stop. Alert Alert: do not try this at home. Smoking is very bad for babies–and for you! Also, moustaches on babies are very scary.
Let’s check in with the small one.
How’s it goin’, kid? Are you scarred by this experience?
Are you appalled by the feet-eating tendencies of your deranged Auntie?
In the end, he fortunately seemed no worse for the wear.
Now . . . how do you think those cheeks would taste?

If god didn't intend for us to nibble on babies' feet, then he wouldn't make them so scrumptious looking! that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Baby James is just...the cutest thing ever. You guys totally got my endorphins flowing this morning.
As I am a "toe nibbling Granna", I loved the photos. He's quite adorable! Love the artwork addition too. :)
True story: I was shopping with baby Miss M. at the supermarket and she was in her car seat in the little compartment of the cart. Her feet were so small and delicious, that as I shopped, I would stop to nibble and nuzzle those yummy toes. I wasn't even thinking about it, but then I saw some man in the store looking at me in utter horror and disgust. I think I scarred him for life.
I love that story! That poor deprived person just didn't understand the wonder that are baby toes. I think we should feel sorry for him.
aaaaw!!!
THAT. BABY.
I'M. DYING.
aww precious!
Vaya sobrino guapo!!!!!
Guapiiiiiiiiiisimo el muchachito!!! No me extraña tu actitud, realmente está para comerselo, así que ¿porque no empezar por el pie? Buen (y divertido) reportaje.
El lema de la camiseta del bebé también, ja!
Besos!!!
So cute!
I love that he's so peaceful about the entire process. Almost as if this wasn't the first time someone had nibbled his toes, perhaps? What a sweet, fuzzy little cutie-patootie; completely and utterly yummy. Thanks for sharing the photos!
I can almost guarantee that wasn't the first time. =)
