Most people know we LOVE spicy food, but let me give you a little more insight. Cliff would probably say it's not hot enough unless your nose is running. Apparently, Stone loves spicy, as well!
We had some jalapeno pringles, which by our caliber were not spicy, but they definitely had a little kick to it. Especially for an 11 month old. After BEGGING, Cliff gave him one, and he could NOT stop. He might be the perfect commercial for "once you pop, you can't stop." He kept asking for more and more. 
He's also had salsa, which he loved. Perhaps it's from the spicy food I ate when I was pregnant.

Side note: I'm craving the taco combo (one beef, one chicken) with 6 souffle cups of hot red sauce and 4 of the green salsa from El Azteca right now. I used to make Cliff bring this home to Salt Lake on his way up from school at BYU when I was pregnant. We had lunch there once a week when we were at BYU. Who would have ever thought I'd crave Mexican Food from Utah?? We felt so unsatisfied with Utah's Mexican restaurants and attempts at spicy food (although we did find a couple places that helped our cravings), but El Azteca was the El Paso Mexican we grew up with (actually started by people from El Paso, I believe!). I hope not to offend my Utah peeps, but you must understand--when you grow up on the Mexican border (or are part Mexican, like Cliff), and have Mexican food every day, our expectations are set high.
So here he is with his orange nose from getting into the pringles!
I think Stone has liked spicy foods all along. I never once had heart burn (or threw up) while being pregnant, and Stone never seemed to show signs of dislike in the womb. He continues to be the same today, willing to try anything and everything! Perhaps he's just trying to make his daddy proud!

He must be a Jessup. Nolan and I can tolerate some spice, but we gave Thomas some spicy doritoes the other day and it did not go well, so Stone is on his way. Love the template more and more everytime you change it, you're so good at staying up on that!
way to go stone! just wait until he wants in on a pepper eating contest with you and cliff; that's when his jessup-ness will be thoroughly apparent. :D
and i can only pray that when i get prego i don't throw up or have heart burn... but my genetics are against me on that one.
Our little Pringles man has progressed...from cheddar cheese in Park City to Jalepeno in Texas. He's way tougher than I am. I love the pic...did he have his nose in the can? haha...he does come from a Pringles lovin fam...you & your bros used to polish off a can of sour cream/green onion in no time, remember?
P.S. Keep him away from the "flamin hot" cheetos for a bit longer :)
wow! starting the little guy young! haha...you guys can handle insanely spicy food...!
Hey, did you try La Frontera in UT? I doubt it cuz it's up in SLC. I know you'd love it and it would meet your 'spicy' standards. Quite bashing UT's Mexican food and go and try it!:) Really, next time you're there give it a whirl chica-chile verde-oh la la and hot hot hot sauce galore!!!
Yes, Cori, we tried it! We lived in SLC for a year! Growing up on the border made us Mexican food snobs!! Sorry!
Dang it---SNOBS are LAME!!! However, I do agree-I for one am a softy, but Trav can take it. He doesn't think Frontera is hot either-he drinks the stuff. You are all snobs and I'm not sure why I like any of you :) P.S. you are right-I'm remembering my 3 trips to MX and some of that stuff was off the charts spicy!!!
Hello?...speaking of SLC and Mexican food...RED IGUANA...love it! Ken, you have to admit some of their dishes are muy caliente...even for a little blonde who does her in-laws proud :)
