feeding frenzy

Milo's new favorite food is black beans. He can't get enough.

Many of you know we skipped baby cereal, purees, and spoon feeding and went straight to self feeding chunks and spears of food. Milo's first food was spears of avocado at 8 months. We started slowly introducing other chunks or spears of food he could self feed after that. He is now eating pretty much what we eat. We are delaying wheat, citrus, egg whites, dairy, and nuts a few more months.

Patrick and I feel food at this point is more about exploring taste and texture than nutrition. Self feeding gets a bit messy, but that is why we have a linen closet full of washcloths.
