Now that Jack is almost 9 months old, I am trying to expand his palate and offer him a variety of both pureed and finger foods. While he eats the pureed foods like a champ, finger foods are proving to be more of a challenge. Tonight, for instance, we were eating dinner at a restaurant and I ordered a small plate of steamed carrots. The carrots (which put together would not even equal one whole carrot) cost $4.75, and he threw them all on the floor. Last night I made steamed broccoli, with butter, and again, he played with it and then threw it on the floor. I have also tried baked cinnamon apple and bananas, but most of it ends up on the floor - my dogs have quickly learned that under the high chair is the place to be! Although this ends up in a great big mess for me (and the dogs) to clean up, it is fun to watch him explore new foods, and hopefully at least eat some of it!

| At least he got something into his mouth. |

| Sometimes his hands just get in the way! |

| Bananas are great for squishing between your fingers. |
 |
| Such a kissable face, even with a coating of banana! |
 |
| He hasn't quite grasped the sippy cup concept either... |
