Eating time

I've been trying to get Charlie to progress into a little more solid food. I just switched to the stage 3 foods, which have more "chunks" in them. He hasn't really liked them too much so far. Yesterday, I let him try some puffed cereal. (And for my mom and mother-in-law, yes, I tried a small piece of it before giving him the whole thing) :) The videos below are of that adventure. Today, I was eating my lunch on the couch with Charlie beside me, playing with his new favorite book. He became very interested in my chicken fingers. I fought it for a while but finally decided to see how he would do if I just gave him a tiny piece. He really liked it and continued to eat many bites. He also ate a few bites of bread so it looks like we're making progress. It hasn't connected in his brain yet that the things on his tray are food to eat. He just plays with anything that I place in front of him. And, consequently, most of it ends up on the floor. So, Khaki is eating good and stalks us the whole time Charlie is in his high chair. Oh joy...
