more adventures in baby feeding

so musa woke up around 10 something, and i tried to feed him breakfast a couple of times, but he is just finally finishing it now (pureed pears and oatmeal) at 2:30 in the afternoon. but "finishing" is a misleading word, when every bite stays in his mouth for a good five minutes before he gets around to swallowing it - that is, if he hasn't scooped some of it out with the other spoon he is playing with, or oozed it out with some spit, or sneezed it out all over the high chair straps and his clothes. okay, one bite left...
it is in his mouth, but so is the long end of his play spoon (without which he won't even open his mouth in the first place so yes he has to have one). alhamdulillah! breakfast is finished!
