I have started letting William eat food from off of my plate. We started this about a month ago. At first, though it was really fun to see the faces he'd make while trying something new, he would gag on chunks and it would terrify me. Eventually though he got the hang of mashing something between his gums and swallowing it. Recently I introduced beef jerky for the first time. I didn't know how he'd like it since it was so salty. I shouldn't have worried. This kid LOVES meat! Maybe he will be a meat and potatoes kind of guy, just like his dad. He doesn't really eat it so much as gum it until its completely soft, then he sucks all the juice out. When hes done with it, its a grey, slimy mass. But he sure seems to enjoy it! In the video below, I gave him a piece of jerky and an orange wedge, and let him have his fun.
