Hi Sharon,
I did that with maccas chips the other day too...I bought maccas for lunch while I was grocery shopping, and what can I say, he was in the baby seat, watching every mouthful
Much like Oliver, BJ pretty much just sucked the potato out of the middle and was happy with that!

He had toast for lunch today, sucked on all of it, but chewed and swallowed about half, not bad for a first try, then he had his vegies and a bottle, so I was very proud.
We were meant to start swimming lessons at the start of this term, but he's just had his ear infection and I didn't really wanna risk it.
We'll go either over summer term, or start next year.
