feet are for dessert!

At Trevor's 4 month checkup, our pediatrician gave us the green light to start solids. Since then, we have tried cereal (which Trevor gags when eating--can't blame him) peas, and tried green beans last night. Another milestone since the appointment is that Trevor has now discovered that his feet can reach his mouth! (He has been staring at them and holding them for about a month)

While feeding him his green beans this evening, it was an ongoing battle to make sure that his feet were not going into his mouth. Dinner time went something like this:
--spoonful of green beans in mouth
--wait for Trevor to swallow
--take Trevor's foot out of his hands while en route to his mouth
--make sure Trevor is done swallowing
---Repeat
........................a million times.....

By halfway through, I found myself telling Trevor over and over "Feet are for dessert!"

lovely. right?

trevor having his "dessert" i suppose....
