Carter has been having more fun with meal time these days. He has been tending to lean towards swallowing his food whole so we have been trying tricks to get him to actually chew. So far we have a few successful methods. First is stuff his mouth full so that he has to chew. The biggest hit has been letting him feed himself. It starts with giving Carter his own fork.
Then you help him get a little food on it and he does the rest. He immediately puts it in his mouth.
Then comes the post-bite celebration which consists of shaking both hands and smiling big! Good thing the boy has a big appetite because all that celebration takes a lot of energy!
