Carson went from eating three containers of baby food per meal to barely eating one, as he prefers to feed himself finger foods. That has increased the length of time and messiness of each meal.

We were feeding him one vegetable, one fruit and one entree container, but now it’ll be items like corn, black beans, fruit cups, small pieces of chicken and of course, puffs.

When we try to spoon-feed Carson, he bats our hands away with his left arm and looks angrily at us.

Carson really likes climbing the stairs, hence the reason we put the gates up. We may put him in one corner of the living room where the toys are, but he’ll eventually make his way to the staircase to start climbing. He also gets mad if we take him away.
