Cooper is doing such an amazing job with big boy foods that on Friday night, we decided to try a baby food-free dinner! he had peas and a grilled cheese! He picked everything up by himself and put it right in his mouth!!!

Cooper learned a new skill!! He does this very well with Apple Jacks, pretty good with other snacks too but when it comes to regular food, they somehow end up in his hair and not in the mouth...

Are these all for ME???

Cooper, loves eating anything we're eating...so he did get to have a pancake, but no blueberry syrup quite yet. :)

Food is Always Better if you PLAY with it!

Not much to say on this one...sometimes Cooper opens up wide and get (most of) his food in his mouth. Sometimes he is too interested in everything else going on and turns his head all over, tries to help with the spoon (to be encouraged of course), or puts his fingers in his mouth followed by rubbing them all over his face. This picture is one of his more impressive after meal faces.

Cooper is a big boy now and can eat rice like mommy and daddy... well almost. Cooper tried rice cereal for the first time on Saturday and has been eating well since.
