Yesterday I decided that Elizabeth should try some cheerios. I didn’t really remember when you’re supposed to start kids on finger foods, but Tommy’s baby book said he tried them at 8 months. Oh, the delight! She took 30 minutes playing with them before she realized that she could put them in her mouth. Then a whole new world opened up to her. By tonight, she was an old pro!
Yum!
I love the look of intense concentration followed by the look of complete satisfaction!!
It used to be that if I needed anything done, I could sit Sam down with a handful of Cheerios and he would entertain himself for FOREVER. I think mostly because he would get a fistful, and then couldn’t figure out how to get them from inside his hand to the inside of his mouth! 🙂 But alas… gone are those days!
