October 28, 2007 - Mmmmm, pasta!!!

Sam has decided that it is much more fun to feed himself, that to be spoonfed. He loves to shovel it in, sometimes double-fisted. We have discovered that we need to spread his food out the entire width on the high chair tray, and as far away from him as possible. This makes him need to work a little harder to get the pieces, it slows him down a bit and he usually can keep his fistful at a portion size that he can manage a little better. So far, we haven't found any food that he has refused to eat either. From past experience, we realize that the chances of this eating habit lasting throughout toddlerhood is doubtful, but we'll take it while it lasts.
