Mmmmm

Dear Chicken Nugget,

We've been watching as you grow and develop at warp speed now.  You've been munching on solid foods, scooting backwards, playing hide-and-seek, and babbling.

Of all the things you've been doing, one of the coolest has been watching you eat solid foods.  We've been using an approach to solids called Baby Led Weaning.  Basically, we give you a few solid foods at a time and watch you try it out.

Initially, you'll just explore it.  Then you'll play with it.


Eventually, it gets to your mouth.
  


You are doing an incredible job with it!

There are certain foods that you are absolutely loving: zucchini, broccoli, and sweet potato.

There are others, like oatmeal, that seem to just be a play food.

Still, you love food just as much as we do and are an active participant in our mealtimes.  Of course, it's also a little messier in our kitchen now but it's worth it.


Eternally yours,


Tu papa
