Evolution of eating

Isaac, it would seem, no longer wants to be fed with a spoon. He screws his face up and has a little fit. There is a single daily exception to this rule and that is breakfast. He simply cannot get enough of the tasty banana-wheat biscuit-hemp milk combo in his mouth fast enough any other way than if I feed it to him. I guess it's because he's gone without food for so long (i.e.: all night) and he's super hungry by morning time, even with a boob feed at about 5am.

This morning he wolfed down a WHOLE BOWL of the stuff without stopping to whinge once AND THEN ate a WHOLE PIECE OF TOAST too! It was cut into dinosaur shapes, but still. That's some good going for the Wiggler, who usually gets to 2 spoonfuls left & then quits. 

I tried, again, to feed him his lunch, to no avail. He screwed up his face, again. He threw a little fit, again. So. I left him with the bowl and the spoon & went to do the washing up. I look up to see a perfectly contented Little Man playing with spoon & food and later on even eating it!! I think he managed to eat most of it, but it's difficult to tell with vulture hound stalking the underside of his high chair, ready to pounce on any freshly discarded foodstuff. He was happy enough to eat this way and even managed to get some on the spoon and subsequently in his mouth! Excitement!

It looks like a total mess, but it's not. Believe me. This is relatively clean when compared with previous baby led weaning exercises. Anyway, I think he enjoyed himself! And the fact he looks a little like he has food stubble is too cute :-D
