Eating Like a Big Boy

I prefer to have my food in large chunks now, so I can pick pieces up and take bites. Mommy thought she'd see what I'd do with a whole apple, and I took right to it.

That was a good idea, Mommy - I love fruit!

I can also feed myself with a spoon pretty well. Though I still like to pick up food with my hands too, and smear it all over myself. This ensures that Daddy has to give me a bath immediately after dinner.

Another game I enjoy. I'll take a big bite from the spoon, and then clamp my teeth down on the spoon and hold it like that for a bit.

Here I am posing so Daddy can try out his new camera. I've mastered eating with one hand while holding more food in my other. That way, I can cram more food in quicker.

Even with food mush all over my face, I'm still damn cute.

Food makes me happy.

I've also learned how to eat peanut butter & jelly sandwiches like a big boy.

Do you like "see" food? Daddy taught me that joke - it's a riot every time.

Here is me showing off my darker side.
