Ethan finally convinced me to give him some solidy goodness and he was LOVING it!! This is his second day at it actually and boy he knew it was coming as soon as i put that bib on him! Since we don't have much room for a high chair in our apartment I am learning the mama-hold-my-arms-down-or-I-will-get-all-messy hold. You simply sit the child on one leg securing one arm behind your back leaving preferably your dominate arm free to scoop the food while your other arm secures baby's other arm! It works like a charm. We tried it in a high chair and ended with food all over the kitchen...maybe later little buckaroo!
