Spoon Feed vs. National Disaster

I still spoon feed Jayden. I can't even imagine the mess if I let him try on his own. Some other ladies I know with children his age let them explore. I think, I'll be like my sister. I'll feed him for as long as I can. I am adventurious from time to time. Yesterday, I sliced some bananas and put them on a plate and put him in his high chair with it and he ate it all by himself without making too much of a disaster. I was thrilled and encouraged.

Transitions from Baby to Toddler

Jayden's newest trick is to put all his fingers in his mouth and gag! Very fun. He does it when he's trying to get attention. I am starting to brush his teeth. I'm trying to get into the habit myself so I can teach him right. Brush in the morning and before bed. I checked his mouth this morning and discovered two more teeth bringing the total to 8 teeth. We took away the bobo since yesterday and he hasn't even noticed. I just hid it in a drawer. I'm working on sippy cups and he's getting it now. Soon I will take away all the bottles and go to sippy cups.
