He's been sitting on my knee trying to eat his toys while I was eating a banana, he was looking at me so longingly and trying to grab it so I broke off a piece of let him hold it (it kept slipping out of his hand though ) so I helped him hold it, went straight to the mouth, gnawed on the end of it, a piece came off, he looked , swallowed it (and looked slightly suprised LOL), and then gave me a huge grin and tried to grab it again.
So - with a little assistance from me he's had a tiny bit of "first food" - DH still isn't keen on the idea of BLW but I'm prepared to give it a go, and yes we're a little early so the grabbing small things and getting into mouth reasonably well still not quite there (and he's little younger than 6 months ) - but if he's happy to have a go at little bits and pieces (with a bit of assistance) then I think we're off!
