Yes everyone this is Josh (a.k.a. the father). I am still alive dispite the lack of posts with my name on them.
Rease and I had the day to spend together not to long ago so we made a delicous carrot cake for Grandpa Beutler's Birthday.
I thought I'd let her play by herself while I whipped it up. But true to form the minute she knew something was going on in the kitchen she quickly glided over and kept ramming into my legs with her walker. And as you can she she ended up being quite the Soux Chef.
She did a great job grating the carrots with her razor sharp lower teeth.
I personally love the white knuckle grip.
And if you've ever made "baby assisted" carrot cake before you know that the spoon needs to be pre-soaked with saliva prior to combining ingredients. This tecnique is known to give the cake that special something.
Then follows the all important post-soak in saliva to insure the spoon will be clean after final wash. Think of it like rinsing your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. 
And Voila!! There you have it. What a great day in the kitchen!!
