Yes the first food milestones are so fun! My tot had an insatiable appetite and would pretty much eat anything, but his favorite was something strange-- soap bubbles. I used to let him play with bubble blowers, and he'd end up popping bubbles in his mouth like a frog catching flies! Of course, I quickly learned to keep an eye on him to ensure the soap didn't harm him, but it sure was funny watching him get all bubbly and giggly. Those were adorable times I miss now that he's grown.
Do share more of these fun milestone stories; they're such a delight!
