May 18th...it has been exactly 8 months since the blessed day our twins arrived! Due to the babies' newfound maturity, we decided it was time to try some finger foods. We had a prior attempt at cheerios (at 6 mos) that resulted in a horrific choking/vomiting episode. Needless to say Mommy was quite happy to put those cheerios back up on the shelf for some day down the road. Now it seems that day has arrived. We have recently noticed Maddie & Aidan eyeing our food with a look of longing. So this morning we cracked out the Gerber Sweet Potato puffs expecting there to not be much interest. Boy were we wrong!!!
Both were excited from the get go to fling them off the trays...but it was Aidan (of course) who caught on to the fact that perhaps these were for eating. Below are some pictures of the monumentous event:
Aidan's first attempt at feeding himself:
His initial reaction was one of puzzlement:
But eventually he decided to shove them in by the fistful:
And of course he is now mastering the art of the sippy cup - a boy needs to wash down his Gerber puffs after all!
Maddie did feed herself a few puffs, but was mainly interested in her teething ring:
And in chewing on the lip of her sippy cup:
(And yes, we do realize that Maddie often looks a bit "out of it" in her photos...that darn flash gets her every time)
