Breakfast, lunch, snacks, & dinner.
And, if you saw his belly that now hangs over his diaper,
you'd see the result of all that eating. He usually begins
with around two jars of baby food- stage 2 & 3. His favorites
include sweet potatoes, green beans, and applesauce. He
then moves on to finger food: whole wheat pasta or bread,
peas or green beans, and his new favorite...Gerber
Graduates Ravioli! He especially loves the ravioli!
My favorite part of his meal time is watching his little fingers
work. He is now a master at the art of "pinching"...using his
pointer finger and thumb to pick up even the hardest of
targets...peas. When it comes time for the slimy, wet ravioli,
Caleb soon gives up with the pinching and opts for a scoop
method- using all of his little fingers. While this does make
a mess, it gets the job done.
But, the one finger food that some how can always escape
the grasp of his fingers...pears! He loves pears, but gives
up after chasing them around his tray. I usually end up feeding
them to him with a fork. So, I decided to hand him the fork, with
the pear already on it, and see what he would do. As I'm sure
you know...I had the camera ready.
Eyeing up the pear...
I think he caught on! Much easier than using the fingers!
Sitting up: check
Rolling over: check
Drinking from a cup: check
Waving Bye: check
Using a fork: check
Crawling: are you crazy? of course not!
