When I chose to “Skip the Spoon,” and go with baby led weaning, I knew it would be a lot easier than spoon feeding, but I never expected it to be so entertaining!
Day 1 (Thanksgiving): Butternut Squash
“So, I just eat this big white thing, right?”
“Hmmm, that’s new…”
Day 8: Rice Puffs
“I’ve got this, just shovel them in!”
Day 18: Steamed Rice
“Who needs clothes? I’ll just stick this stuff all over me!”
Day 20: Apples
“It’s ok Mommy, I’ll do the spooning”
“This Fork thing is AMAZING!”
Day 27 (Christmas Eve): Carrots
“Really, Mommy? Can’t a boy just eat in peace for once?!”
Day 28 (Christmas): Sweet Potatoes
“Well, this is a new vessel for my food…”
“It’s squishy between my fingers.”
“I think I like this sweet potato stuff.”
“Don’t you DARE touch my sweet potatoes!”
Day 35 (New Year’s Day): Avocado
“Man, this eating business is tiring work!”
“I’ve heard avocado masks are great for you skin…”
“Mom, you’re embarrassing me!”
Day 47: Broccoli
“Big Bite!”
“This stuff is healthy? I can’t hear you, I can’t hear you!”
Day 50: more Squash
“These sister people sure are handy to have around!”
Day 51: Whole Banana
“This. Is. AWESOME!”
“Like this?”
“Maybe if I lift my head just a little bit higher…”
“You mean this way? Ah, so much easier!”
Day 52: Snapea Crisps
“What’s the word? Crunchy?”
Day 64: Kiwi
“Sour! Kiwi is not my favorite!”
Day 70: Prunes
“I’ll just take all of these, thank you very much!”
Day 75: Spinach and Chicken
“Daddy, we’re waiting for you so we can start…”
“This sure is messy, but delicious!”
Day 84: more Banana
“Don’t forget the tongue! I’ll help. Clean my tongue too, please!”
Day 88: Chicken and Sweet Potatoes
“Time for seconds!”
“Here Daddy, I’ll share!”
“Oooh, what’s this delectable morsel?!?”
“All gone!”
So cute!
Thanks, Lynn. Can’t wait to see messy eating pictures of your little fellow!
