Generally?

* If anyone asked what age Tristan went from eating “toddler food” to eating “people food” I would probably mark now as that time. We had luck with a plastic baby fork and lots of stabbable foods like chicken pieces and smushy garbanzo beans. He can jab the fork into his mouth but has to work very hard to overcome the urge to remove the pieces by hand to place them in his mouth instead.

* Tristan has still been demanding chicken soup whenever it is present. This actually requires that either Tristan be served in his high chair (haven’t done that in a while) or I will have to keep the tap flowing at the expense of my bowl. James has been quite the trooper for our sakes and has been doing the bulk of the spoon-feedings with Tristan involving my our precious chicken soup. But just like me, Tristan will continue to require this chicken soup steadily until no more evidence of it exists. This is easier accomplished for Tristan, who isn’t yet aware of every possible container that soup could be stored in. (Since I am aware, I have to cook soup a LOT to feed Tristan some!) But I think that we firmly have a spoon back in use. We’ll have to see if he will try it with less-adored foods. Or whether it really even matters yet. He’s not exactly handicapped without utensils – he just looks weird eating adult food that way.

* It has taken me three days to write this entry, so I will post it for now and try again later.
