Jack Henry has recently discovered table food. He has a pretty mighty gag reflex, so we’re taking it rather slowly. Since the other two were in this stage, Gerber has marketed a wonderful starter food: the puff.
The puff is truly genius. It’s not too sweet, so you don’t have the guilt of letting your baby stuff himself with Fruit Loops or the like. And then it disolves very quickly, so it’s virtually impossible to choke on them. They also come in a wide variety of baby-friendly flavors, our favorite being sweet potato so far.
We’ve come up with a new function of the puffs though that I think the world should know about: learning to count! By accident, we discovered that if you lick the puffs they stick quite readily to the skin. Observe….
We would never just randomly stick food to our baby’s face without a purpose, so we told him that was ONE. One puff, Jack Henry. There is ONE puff sticking to your forehead.
Let’s give him a second to grasp the concept…
Feel the one. BE the one, Jack Henry!
Okay, now TWO….
Awww! What a cute two!
Now THREE….
Uh-oh. We have a problem with three. Better move the whole operation…
There. That’s better. THREE…
I think he’s getting it!
I tell ya’, Sesame Street has nothing on us. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go over some algebraic functions with Bonny Annie using spaghetti and meatballs….
I have a picture EXACTLY like that of Parker..well, with one…not three on his head. The only thing it taught him was how to go crossed trying to see it on his forehead. Question…where do I click to “follow” your blog? I always forget to come back and check it out but I really enjoy it..if it’s on my follow list I will REMEMBA! Perhaps I am blind and do not see the “follow me” sign?? Answer me back on Facebook or my blog when ya get a chance
Rhonda´s last blog ..Giveaway time! WHAT! WHAT!
Adorable!
CrossView´s last blog ..Irony.
Just wait until you find one stuck to the back of his thigh, under his shorts and it’s been there for awhile. That’s when the fun begins!
And, you are a homeschooler. You obviously lack any social skills, so you teach your infant to count by sticking puffs on his forehead. It’s required for those of us crazy enough to keep our kids at home!
Isabelle was addicted to those things…. We were looking for a puff eaters anonomys group…
