Eating Like a Big Boy

Casen started eating 'real' food at school this week. I have been feeding him a few different things here at home and he does a great job of putting one thing in his mouth at a time and really chewing (or gumming) it before he swallows. It was obvious he was ready for food, so after talking to his teachers and them agreeing, I gave them the green light to feed him whatever they felt fit for him to eat. So needless to say, he has had mini corn dogs, a hoagie sandwich, steak fingers with gravy, mashed potatoes, and different vegetables this week at school and whatever we eat at supper, he is eating as well. When we do try to feed him baby food, he eats a few bites and then starts playing and spitting it out, so needless to say, we can only give him a little at a time. Of course he is still drinking his formula and eating yogurt and puffs and what not, but we are definitely on the road to leaving the baby food behind.
