Sweet Potato and Butternut Squash

While I prepare food I put Zachary in the high chair and let him play with spoons, plates and cups.  I like to let him explore and it keeps him busy.



wrong side...right idea

wrong again!

Last week we tried sweet potato.

before

he didn't really feed himself I just gave him a spoon while I feed him with a different spoon.

I put some mush on the tray to see if he would try to feed himself with his hands.

I don't use a bib because he eats the bib and makes a bigger mess.  I figure I have to wash clothes anyway.

after

Today we tried butternut squash.

I bought these because I thought they were really cool.  You put food it it and it squeezes out the mesh.

It didn't take Zack long to figure out how to use it.

I think he loves when I take his picture because he really wants my camera.  BTW the food paci doesn't make less mess...his shirt was very wet.

but he did like the butternut squash

 While he was eating I heard a poo sound and didn't think anything of it until I pulled him out of the chair and his back was soaking wet with poo.  While I cleaned up both messes Zack played...

this is the face that makes cleaning up poop totally worth it.
