More food adventures

The list of Owen "likes" is growing longer. While his absolute favorite is probably green beans, he seems to be okay with most everything we wave in front of him (except peas...but who really likes peas anyway??) Let's see, we've now conquered the following: green beans, squash, sweet potatoes, peaches, pears, applesauce, bananas, prunes, carrots, corn, turkey, chicken and ham. While eating out, he has also happily sampled mashed potatoes and avacado from my plate.

However, the latest development is the ever-so-cool pincer grasp! Owen is refining that thumb & forefinger motion and can now feed himself finger foods. We introduced some veggie puffs earlier this week and the babyland security choke advisory level was a glaring red. We were on steady watch, not sure if he was quite ready for finger foods. Well, he just swatted them around and never even thought to put any in his mouth. Two days later, he was picking them up like a pro and knew just what to do with them. Big boy! See for yourself...

Owen feeds himself for the first time!
