Puff lovin’ little boy!

We have started working with Owen on eating different types of foods besides his baby food. He seems interested in what we’re eating and we thought the best place to start besides soups and yogurt would be to try the Gerber Puffs. They teach him to work with his hands and also to chew up something that mushes pretty easily! We started with them two Saturday[s ago and have since tried them with every meal. We put him in his highchair, sprinkle a few on his tray and let him busy himself with touching them, putting them in his mouth and just working out the whole business of chewing! 5 of every ten make it to his mouth and the rest end up on his lap, on the floor or mushed in between his chin and neck. Sunday evening when we were getting ready for his bath, one dropped out on the floor from under his sweat pants! It’s a blast to watch him work on this new skill. This week he has gotten very crafty at getting them from the tray into his mouth.  When he accomplishes this, he looks up at me and smiles from ear to ear!  His face says...I GOT it Momma!! Anyway…it's yet another adorable thing our son loves to do! So of course I had to take pictures of his mushy messy puff buffet. Below a picture of Owen vs. Sweet potato and Banana flavored puffs!
