No Airplane Necessary

Tonight Nicholas experienced his first fruit - bananas. Of course he loved them as he has every other food (carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes). It's so funny to think of all the tricks people do to get babies to open their mouths and shove the spoon in - "Here comes the airplane" and the standard of mom or dad opening their mouth to have the baby do the same. We have never had to do this with Nicholas. If the spoon is in his line of sight, his mouth is open. The only issue we do have during dinner is keeping his hands out of his mouth. We learned early on to keep one hand restricting his movement, while the other one feeds him. All in all he is a really good eater. :-)
