Finger Foods

I read that you can start finger foods with your baby between 7-9 months. Even though he seems kind of young for it, we thought we'd give it a try. We got those little puff thingies and set them on Ethan's tray. Here he is, ready for some finger foods!


After we set a puff on his tray, he pretty much just sat there. He had NO idea what to do with it, which is funny, since everything else in the world goes straight in his mouth.



Finally, he did pick it up and put it in his mouth.
But then, it somehow ends up on his PJ's.
Then in the mouth...
Then back on the PJ's...

It was a fun experience! We'll try it every now and then, but it's not really a huge priority. I like seeing him working on his fine motor skills and concentration, though! Watching those cute little fingers chase after something so small is just precious. :)

Margaret, it looks like Ethans hair on top is getting longer already just since it's been cut!! I love all the pictures!!! We too have been giving Camden some cherrios now and then and he loves them. Betty even gave him a vanilla wafer to slobber on and he enjoyed it too. I love the adorable shirt! I can't wait to dress Camden in the cute long sleeved shirts and outfits that have just been hanging in his closet!
