Food, Glorious Food!

Table foods are officially part of Finn's world now that he's reached six months. The problem is that mommies feel just a bit overwhelmed with this addition to our already overwhelming list of responsibilities. So we've decided that we will feed the boy but not regularly or consistently. One day he may get table foods, the next day none. One day he may get brekkie, the next day, lunch.

Good plan, right? I mean, until one year, food is really about tastes, and we're not really ready to go insane.

Except that Finn seems to disagree.

The boy wants to eat. Everything. All the time. We cannot eat in peace because he spends the entire time grabbing at our food. M. was eating potato chips in front of him and he kept grabbing and grabbing until he just leaned right in and gave her a big open-mouth kiss in an attempt to get just a little but of what mama was eating.

Time for Plan B. We can't eat unless we give Finn something. Enter a good supply of toast fingers and apple slices. I just got a set of bib clips so I can feed him on the go...so far with one use they seem to work well. Today when we were shopping, I had yummy crunchy rice and chicken salad and Finn had pan fried carrots with paprika and orange juice (from Pasta & Co) and we were both VERY happy.
