Last week Claire had her first experience with "real" food; i.e. food that is not out of a baby jar or filled with air (flavored air puffs are her favorite). I wasn't sure what she could eat yet so I searched on the Internet and found out she could eat raisins and cheese. I could tell she was a little confused at first. Claire would pick a piece off of her tray and inspect it before eating. It was so cute! Half of the food landed in her lap or on the floor, but the few pieces that actually made it in her mouth were delicious! Claire loved the raisins and cheese and they have become daily snacks in our house. What snack foods do your kids like?
One minor thing that I am not happy about? Yucky, sticky, grimy fingers. I can't stand them and I had no idea that I was going to have to deal with that at such a young age. I guess I should get over it fast 'cause when she starts feeding herself it's only going to get worse. Wish me luck! :)

Yes, there is good and bad of a child feeding themselves. One word of caution - using food as a behavior incentive. Claire is growing up so fast. Tomorrow she'll be walking and talking. I love it!
You can add orange to the list last week!
