Mango Maniac Chow Hound!

So last night we got take out for supper. Fried Chicken dinner. I got some breadsticks too. We got home and I was sitting on the floor eating with J sitting on the floor leaning on the crook of my knee. I bit off the end of a breadstick and started giving him bites of the soft bread in the middle. (He loves bread!) After about four little bites he suddenly reached out and literally snatched the breadstick out of my hand and stuck it in his mouth and tore a chunk off. I just sat there staring at him slack-jawed. R was cracking up laughing. He continued to rip hunks of bread off that stick till all that was left of it was about the size of his little fist. We took that from him and gave him the other breadstick, which he just about finished as well. All the while he was accepting small bites of coleslaw and chicken from me also. When the breadsticks were gone he decided to get on to the business of playing with his toys. Till he crawled over my leg and found the box that my chicken meal came in. I’d been dropping my bones and pieces of chicken skin into it, so I reached to take it away from him before he got himself all greasy. At that point he literally DOVE into the box and retrieved a dinner roll and bit a giant hunk out of it before I knew what happened! So I guess it’s safe to say J is now a skilled self-feeder! LOL Later on he started to act hungry again. I thought it was not likely he had much room left after all that and his bottle, but I was wrong. I decided to let him try something new. The boy LOVES mango! I ran it through his baby food mill and he flat scarfed it! It gave him the full body shivers a few times, but that never slowed him down one bit. Man, this kid is so much fun it’s freaky! Ha Ha!
