Well it happened.


Jameson finally learned to feed himself. Yeah, I think. I used to complain that if I put a cheerio on Jameson's highchair tray he would pick it up great but then not eat it. He wanted to be feed like a baby bird. But over the last week he learned to put food in his mouth. But unfortunately he puts more than just food in his mouth. Now all those little things on my floor that he used to ignore are going in his mouth. This is the normal behavior for most kids his age, but I am just not used to it. He used to never put anything in his mouth. So I am constantly scanning my floor and making sure we do not leave food in his reach. Not to make anyone worry, but he has already choked a few times. Luckily he has a great gak reflex and he throws up when he is choking so the thing he is choking on comes up as well. He is such a curious and social baby, he wants to be right where I am doing what I am doing. He is always underfoot and getting into things. This new skill has really made him a better eater. He seems to eat everything we offer him. He also still lets me feed him on a spoon. He is doing well with weaning. Now all I have to do is kick the 6:00 am feeding, which is the hardest because I don't want to be up for the day at 6:00 am. I have really grown accustomed to sleeping in.

You've done a great job Melanie!
I'm looking forward to feeding JJ while you are in Chicago. I will endeavor to keep my floors clean.
