food milestones


Over the last couple of weeks Ethan has really been making some strides in his eating. Always a fan of his pureed foods, Ethan has been a bit more slow to warm up on the "textured" foods. For a long time he would kind of cough/choke down the small rice puffs and so we've been waiting to see when he'd be a bit more comfortable.

And just of late he has really turned a corner and is understanding how to mash and chew textured foods. He love love loves banana, cheerios, yogurt melts, and cheese. I've been able to give him more textured purees as well and he has been doing great!

We also crossed another milestone earlier this week when Ethan decided to pick up a yogurt melt and eat it all by himself! I was so excited that I think I freaked him out and so he was 1 for 1 on trying to feed himself and then was like 1 for 20. But still, it was awesome to see - just one more step toward becoming a little man.

I took this pic right after he fed himself. Way to go Ethan!
