According to Monty, puffs are the greatest invention ever with respect to meal time. When Addison was a little over 6 months, we gave her her first taste of Gerber puffs (sweet potato variety). As with all foods, she loves them. Her first introduction was made as we placed them in her mouth but she very quickly began to start picking them off of her tray and feeding them to herself. At this point, we are not quite sure if she is going to be left or right handed as she will alternate the hand that she uses to eat no matter where we may place the puff on her tray. Monty's great adoration for puffs developed because puffs are fantastic filler and allow Addison to occupy herself so that we can quickly eat and return our full attention to her. In the very beginning, it would take her a few tries to go directly in her mouth, but now (about 3 weeks later) she is the master eater.
First solo puffs - October 17, 2010
Around the same time that she started to self feed her puffs, her first teeth were really beginning to poke through. In order to soothe her poor gums, she would take a puff and grind it between where her teeth eventually broke through. She preferred this method to frozen rings or any other remedy we tried. In the process, Lisa dubbed her 'Mater' from Cars. Do you see a resemblance?
