My little chutney butt

Here's a little note while I kill time before going to teach and purposefully ignore Stefan on the floor. He's mad to be on his back, but I think it's about time he figured how to get off his back himself. He does roll, but that puts him on his tummy which he hates...another place he should spend more time. So we're practicing independence.

He's been making more progress in solids. I realized today that in addition to taste, temperature, and consistency, the shape/size of the bits he is presented with and how many are also effecting if he tries to eat it. I knew they did, but I thought after he tasted how amazing food is, it wouldn't matter. I've been going a bit too small, he needs something golf ball sized or larger. Though chip-shaped food is recommended for BLW, he's not so down with it. One has only to look at the dining room floor to realize what he likes and doesn't (I'm trying to discourage floor food without success). Yesterday he had fun with a huge hunk of grilled squash and today, a big mushroom. He also tried some of the rice covered in curry sauce I made and was screaming for more (yes screaming, he doesn't mince screams). We've also been practicing using a cup, no sippy top. He eats his solids meals with me, so we just sit at the table together and practice...it gives me something to do besides eat in silence.

Well I better go rescue him, seems he's really pissed off on his belly...cheers!
