It's hard to tell who's the winner here. But it was fun to watch.Richie is discovering the joys of finger food and Mom is discovering the joys of the "dishwasher safe" tray on his feeding chair!
Steamed broccoli was much easier to grab than those slippery pieces of fresh fruit we tried first, but he tended to pulverize the florets before getting them to his mouth. Boiled kumera (sweet potato) was another hit. And yesterday we tried pasta spirals, which he'd grab by the handful and shove in his mouth, sometimes more successfully than others. Now if I only had a dog to pick up the pieces that didn't survive the trip from tray to mouth!

EXACTLY!!! Mookie loves to feed herself, but Mama doesn't love to clean up after her! :o) I think her favorite is banana, but we're branching out. We're gonna try sweet potato fries this week. And maybe carrot "fries" if it works out. So many food options...so much mess. :o) I guess it's better to teach them to love and enjoy food, but, whew, it's tiring!
