You gimme food, I happy boy

I really thought I might try to nurse this baby for 6 months before I started feeding him solids...but he had other ideas. The kid watches us as we eat dinner and tracks the fork and spoon movements. If he is anywhere near the table, he grabs for whatever looks like it might fit in his mouth. So I caved and started him in on everything. Cereal- awesome! Sqauash, no problem! Bananas- hurrah! You spoon it, he eats it. He didn't even have to get the hang of a spoon. It was like a built-in reflex. The kid just eats. And he eats great!
And when he eats...he's happy! Unless you walk away from the table with the spoon in your hand. Then he is not happy!
