Today, J decided that he wanted a snack between breakfast and lunch. I gave him crackers, diced canned peaches, and Cheerios. I put them on his highchair tray to see if he would be interested in eating some finger foods. He enjoyed the crackers best; he wasn't especially interested in eating the peaches or Cheerios. But he did have some fun playing with them. At one point, he held a cracker in each hand and then tried to use the crackers like salad tongs to pick up the rest of the food. He managed to spear a couple of Cheerios on the pointy end of one of the crackers, but wasn't so sure what to do with it from there.
A huge mess and a very happy baby was the result. I count J's foray into finger foods a marked success.
