Wednesday night the hubs had to work late. He wasn't home for big guy's dinner. And this was especially sad b/c big guy was starting the puff! The puffs are these gerber baby puffs- whole grains, banana-flavored, and shaped like asterisks. I videotaped it and can I say it is the funniest video to watch.
Big guy starts out attempting to pick up the puff. The trouble is that the puffs are sticky once your hands/fingers are wet. Big guy would start to pick them up and make his way to his mouth and then it would slip out or get stuck to the palm of his hand or arm. Then he would get pissed off at the puff. This continues for a few minutes and then he finally got it in his mouth! It was so exciting. Then he chewed the puff! I started to clap and mimic chewing. Finally, he smiled and the puff slipped out!
Over the weekend, big guy became very proficient at eating the puffs. He can now pick them up with a pincer grasp (thumb and forefinger) and get them into his mouth in one swift move. Funnily enough as he is going to pick up the puff, he opens his mouth in anticipation of it eventually arriving there!
