If we call you 'Mimi,' avoid this post

Miles recently went on a solid food strike. He turned his head at everything we offered. Turns out, I was able to win him back by letting him feed himself. He has since let us feed him as well, but is really enjoying the sensory experience of food on his own. We've also started adding more texture and taste to his menu options and so far, he hasn't protested too much. In fact, he actually seems to like it better. So, we'll see......

*a note on the title: my step-mom (aka Mimi) cannot stand the sight of a messy eater or any food where it doesn't belong. Hopefully, she heeded my warning, as babies are not exempt.
