At each meal Bailey grows increasingly determined to eat what we are eating. So this weekend I started giving him some real food - a chunk of honeydew melon kept him very busy yesterday at breakfast.
Today he got baby oatmeal and bananas which he will only eat if he has his own spoon to hold and can run his fingers through the food at least once but usually throughout the feeding. This provides a nice goopy coating over his little hands. Afterwards he needs to ram the bowl from side to side over the tray smearing any food over the surface and usually launching the bowl over the edge at some point. (Look out Chloé).
This photo is after the usual mealtime mayhem when Bailey "requested" a segment of my Clementine. See it poking out of his little mouth? We'll be accepting food donations to keep up with our sons hearty appetite.
