Month: December 2009

Well, I assumed that Ajax would be a vegetarian till he had some more teeth, but when I was at the grocery store today they had some organic baby food with meat that actually didn’t sound terrible.  I picked him up a few different kinds and for dinner he had chicken with tomatoes and some sort of pasta.  He loved it and Dave and I were both surprised.  Go figure?

We also got a few boxes from Amazon today (that’s how we did a lot of our shopping this year.  So much easier).  Ajax loved the boxes and had a ton of fun playing in them; he didn’t even seem to notice the toys that were coming out of them.

Ajax has now decided that, although he isn’t into finger foods, he wants to spoon feed himself.   This of course makes a terrible terrible mess.   He will grab the spoon from you and then turn it sides ways while cramming it into his mouth.   He discovered that when his hands are covered in baby food, they make a fantastic squishy sound when he makes a fist.  That is now our mealtime, lol.

Like I’ve said, we are now making an effort to get Ajax more accustomed to finger foods and feeding himself.  As it is, he really has no interest in feeding himself, unless it’s some form of fruit; veggies are out of the question.  Tonight I gave him soft green beans, peas, and carrots.  All of which ended up on the floor.  I also gave him a strawberry and that kept him occupied for a good ten minutes while Dave and I ate dinner.  We shall keep trying!
