I used to add oatmeal or rice cereal to "loose" foods... like baby yogurt or baby food fruits & veggies... thickening up the consistency of foods helped the babies keep the food on their spoon better and off the ceiling more!! Also, it's time to introduce Doug to 1st Saturdays at Home Depot!! The first Sat. of each month, Home Depots have "Kids' workshops"... technically I think they are supposed to be for older kids, like pre-school age, but Hans started taking Elle when she was less than a year. He and a friend do "Daddy's breakfast" and then go to Home Depot or the the library, bookstore, that kind of thing and I get to sleep in, work out, shop solo, etc. (but I digress!)... Where was I?? OH YEAH... at the Home Depot Kids' Workshops, they GIVE each kid (EACH MONTH) an orange Home Depot smock, kid sized of course... they make great FULL COVERAGE bibs (good for more than just meal-time, too, like finger painting and other messy crafts!) ... we went so far as to cut the neck so we could tie it (rather than slip over the head) and so could control how high up it covered! Not only functional, but FREE, too!!<br /><br />I hope you had a wonderful, first "FACE TO FACE" - mess free - Mother's Day with Mackenzie!!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463517899552200947noreply@blogger.com
