Monkey See, Monkey Eat

When it comes to food, I still treat Leo like a baby. While all his friends are biting, chomping and tearing their meals, Leo usually sticks with the spoon or really mushy finger food. But come on, he barely has six teeth! So you can imagine my surprise when last weekend, Frank just handed him half a banana and let him chew away. What? No cutting into small circles and then half circles?

I tried it again later that week:




And then yesterday (at Frank's request) I gave him the WHOLE banana, peel and all! Look at our little monkey:

Another example of Leo's genius.

For his next trick, let's see if he can peel the banana by himself!

Dad's are great for taking risks...or at least to find a way that is less work! Yea Leo... can't wait to see your next accomplishment.

And I bet the banana tastes better WITH the peel and NOT cut up! Right, Leo?
