We started out pretty cautiously with Tommy’s solids, worried he would choke or have difficulty chewing some things. Well, we have went from cutting Puffs and cheerios in half to feeding him spaghetti in record time. Tommy currently has 5 teeth and is a magician with them. He chews like a full-grown adult. He has never really choked or had any “scary” moments. He is now eating breakfast, morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snack at school like the big kids. For instance, when I picked him up from school the other day his sheet said he had: breakfast combo, graham crackers for snack, pork sliders and mixed veggies for lunch, and yogurt and a Nutrigrain bar for afternoon snack. He loves almost anything he tries and if he doesn’t he spits it out. He is hilarious. He still has baby food (butternut squash, sweet potatoes, carrots and peas) atleast twice a day too. You would think with all this table food eating he has cut back on his milk consumption…not the case….I think it might actually make him thirstier. :)
Eating spaghetti and meat sauce for the first time
We can now just hand him a peeled banana—that is how good he is at taking bites.
