yes we share his food too and with banana, I was letting him bite some off my banana the other day and he got a big chunk off and choked on it cause he just tried to swallow it straightaway. He loves brocoli but i only give it to him extremely well cooked and small "trees".

we too make the chewing faces and he does imitate us, but he seems to forget about it soon enough.

he will be 11 months old in 2 days, maybe i'm just being impatient.
