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.
