teeny tiny bits of stuff...

they're everywhere. teeny tiny bits of stuff. and ben can spot them from a mile away. he crawls to them and gets them in his mouth if i'm not on the ball. (i'd like to think i'm mostly on the ball though...) our modern day shag carpet hides these teeny tiny bits of stuff well (i don't think our vacuum is working right...) but not well enough that ben can't see them.

so i read on my babycenter.com email about my 8 month old that he can try having some finger foods like bits of banana or cheerios. skeptical of a full cheerio, i broke a couple cheerios into halves and put them on his high chair tray. i cut up a couple bits of banana. i thought he'd love these teeny tiny bits of food. instead, he touched them, made a face, moved them around his tray but refused to put them in his mouth. turns out stuff is better than food.

David LOVED frozen blueberries. I started off by cutting them into quarters, then halves and eventually he ate them whole. They were great for when he was teething.

Huh. I don't know how to solve this one. Or any of the baby-related ones.

maybe you need to 'hide' all the food you want him to eat in your carpet.. and then he'll think they're 'stuff' :)
