Dinnertime with Frankie

Last summer I took several videos of Frankie eating with the intention of sharing them on the blog so we could always remember how mealtimes were when he was 1. When it comes to making messes with food, Frankie takes the cake. It didn't help that he always refused to wear a bib or sit down while eating. 

These are a little dated now, and I'm happy to report that he is much better. Still messy, but not quite so extreme or deliberate. I'll also add that with most of these videos I would have normally intervened sooner, but I wanted to capture how he was uninterrupted and in his natural state.

This first one occurred when I sat him down to eat rice and beans and then quickly ran to use the restroom. When I came back out, this is how I found him. It cuts off at the end, but he was trying to rub refried beans on the bottoms of his feet when I finally reached my limit of tolerance.

Eating yogurt...he dropped his spoon and improvised:

And here he is eating a cup of applesauce:
