Eli has been getting better and better at feeding himself. He loves to eat and is enjoying getting to eat three meals a day in addition to nursing. I've been trying to have him feed himself at lunch-that's the meal he eats the least at. Today he ate egg yolk and avocado. I sprinkled a little crushed Cheerios over the avocado so they would be easier to pick up.
He really likes egg yolks-much better than egg whites...which, come to find out, he's not suppose to have. I tried to feed egg whites to him a while back (because I thought he wasn't suppose to have yolks...had it backwards...oops) and he wanted nothing to do with it, but has really been enjoying the yolks the last couple of days.
All gone! Now...truth be told, it was taking him forever to eat, so mommy helped him out a bit...Here's our little guy chompin' down. There are a few puffs mixed in with is eggs & avocado. I think he would eat puffs all day long. They are definately a favorite for him.

you make me laugh & smile Rochel! Adam gave Leighton Mango today & he loved it. I have not tried letting him feed himself anything other than Biter Biscuits & Puffs. I don't think he is there yet with the puffs--needs a better pincer grasp! I should go to bed but I wanted to read your post first. Night night!
Aunt Jenny is SO GETTING a package of Puff's for my pantry!
