Making a Mess

In addition to developing a stubborn and determined streak, Lautje has also lately been showing off his new-found eating skills. The Mommy has been letting Lautje experiment with other foods in the past few weeks, with rather entertaining results. Below, you can see the boy enjoying his first banana. Now, Lautje has eaten bananas before, as part of his normal food (pureed), but now the Mommy is letting Lautje eat them (or it might be better to phrase it: "gum them") in whole form and on his own. Needless to say, the boy's table manners leave a little something to be desired...
However, it is not only mushy bananas with which Lautje is allowed to experiment. Below, you can see his first experience feeding himself bread. As might be noticeable in both photos, Lautje is thoroughly enjoying his newly acquired freedom to make a mess...
