Baby food? We don't need no steenkin' baby food

Joshua has now decided that if he can't pick it up in his hands and put it in his own mouth, it isn't food. He'll have nothing to do with baby food, baby cereals, or anything else soft or mushy that has to be eaten with a spoon. He looks at the spoon, presses his lips tightly together, turns his head away, and pushes the parental hand holding the spoon away from his face with an expression of tremendous disdain.

On the other hand, if he can pick it up, he'll eat it. Recent favorites include strawberries, blueberries, slices of pear, whole plums peeled and cut in half, fresh peaches peeled and cut in half, bananas, cheerios (of course!), various sorts of teething biscuits, sliced tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, challah, and slices of American cheese. Oh, and pizza. He's very big on mushroom and cheese pizza. He ate pretty much an entire slice of it for lunch today.

Who knew that 10 month olds eat pizza?
