He's only 9 months old and I fear that he may eat us out of the house soon.
This kid loooooves to eat! Not that I should be surprised... he wouldn't fit in around here if he didn't.
Up until about a week ago, his food came in the pureed form. And he loved it! Then he started to show serious favoritism for the homemade "real" food. I don't blame him... it's way yummier! This led to tastes of food from my plate and then next thing I knew he was mashing/gumming real bits of food off of his tray. Once he discovered finger foods, he started to refuse the pureed food, although we are now able to sneak some spoonfuls in while he is shoving fistfuls into his mouth.
He loves the independence and control of feeding himself.
At this point, his favorite finger foods are sweet potatoes, apples, pears, mangos, carrots, peas, toast, cheese and little bits of chicken.
Mealtime is easily his favorite time of the day. He is so happy and smiley while eating! It can last upwards of an hour... if you keep putting food on his tray, he will keep eating it!
Mr. Bottomless Pit...
Oh, and at this point, he is strictly a lefty when it comes to eating...
Concentration is a crucial part of self-feeding.
Slacking on the job!
If you look closely at the above picture you can see the fangs! Our little vampire baby still doesn't have his 2 front teeth.
