A Feast Fit for a King

Well it's official - David is no longer interested in eating baby food. We sort of knew it was coming. He tried a hot dog at our cookout and loved it. He looked at his jar of baby food and then looked at our dinner - his facial expression said "Um yeah right mom and dad - as if I am going to sit back while I eat a jar of crap and you enjoy that delicious homemade cheese quesadilla"

We decided to try frozen peas and carrots. He loved being able to feed himself and it meant that the Doc and I could eat in peace! Since he did so well with the veggies we decided to try some chicken nuggets. I couldn't cut them up fast enough. Last night he even tried Chinese food. He loved the chicken and broccoli just like Daddy!

Tonight was his first complete dinner on a plate and he managed to eat most of it before picking up the plate and turning it upside down. It's stuffed chicken (stove top cornbread stuffing with some Italian blend cheese mixed in) and corn on the cob. Once he realized he could gnaw on the cob he went to town!

Congratulations David! That is a milestone to celebrate. I can't blame you, I wouldn't want to eat that jarred food either!
