He Feeds Himself (Sort Of)

It is a bit unnerving to watch him gnawing on big chunks of cracker or banana. He has this urgent little scream he emits when he gags, and I tend to obsessively perform periodic sweeps of his mouth, only to find that he has already spat out the offending chunk onto his lap or the floor. But when he clutches a tiny chunk of soggy food, jams it into his maw, gums it thoughtfully, and swallows it triumphantly -- well it just makes a mama so proud. What a talented masticator.
