I have been giving Caleb pureed baby food since he was 5.5 months old. The past week I have been giving him little bits of bannana, avacado, and other soft stuff. The first piece confused him, but he has been chewing and mushing with his tounge since then. I have been putting the food on my finger and then setting it on his tounge. Oh, I guess I should mention that Caleb is a VERY neat eater. He almost never gets any on his bib, and just a little around the mouth. Today I decided to cut up the bannana and let him feed himself. I took off everything except his diaper and let him go to town. Not one piece made it into his mouth! He just sat there squishing it in his hands and smearing it everywhere. He had so much fun! I was still picking bannana out of his hair when we got to Arbor Hills this morning, and that was after a bath. I guess he has a little longer until he is ready to feed himself. He sure seemed to enjoy it though. I think I will let him do it again in a few days.
