otto eats

o

our boy otto loves his food. don't get me wrong, he is definitely more of a discerning eater than greta was at this age. when she was around a year, she would eat anything. tofu, spinach by the handful, you name it. otto, not so much. but what he does like is feeding himself. table foods mostly. he will use a spoon every so often, but he definitely doesn't have that skill mastered and he definitely thinks it's funny to watch you squirm as he puts the spoon on his head or bangs it on the table...anywhere but in his mouth.
and trying to feed him food from a spoon....forget about it. every once in a while you can slip a bite or two in while he is trying to pick up a bite of something. but where greta was fine to let you spoonfeed her while she picked up table foods at the same time, otto is quick to this idea. he hurries the food to his mouth, waves his arms in front of his face, or turns his head to refuse the spoon. unless it's cottage cheese. then all bets are off.
we can't wait to see where he weighs in at his one year checkup here in a few weeks. just this morning he ate two waffles for breakfast. the same size breakfast that i ate.
