an update only a mother could love

An amazing thing occurred in our household this evening.

My son fed himself a snack puff.

Yes, friends. 

If you are not a mother, you probably just want to glimpse at pictures and move along.

He has slowly been eating more textures that I mix in with his Gerber food.

Then, the other night we were at Olive Garden and Bonsa finished the food I'd brought for him,

and he was still hungry. So I decided to give him a little bit of breadstick and see what happened.

He made a face... and then ate it! And proceeded to "ask" for more.

By "ask", I do mean hit the table and yell.

Since then, I've continued experimenting with bread and noodles.

Both successful!

Then tonight, I remembered the little snack puffs. 

I had previously tried to get him to eat them, and he spit them out.

But tonight - he ate them! 

And then, the ultimate test. I put a puff on his tray.

He picked it up, played with it for awhile... then slowly put it in his own mouth.

You guys.

I'm so excited.

And this is so a mommy blog.
