hehe kara, we only got there because of two things
1) he isn't hungry enough for a 'meal' before his nap and
2) he hates lumps fro ma spoon 9and fair enough he only has 2 teeth still!)
Oh and I wanted to get 3 feeds!
So this helps him to chew, pick and choose what he wants, experiment with different tastes etc and kind of graze through out the day. I spent ALL day sunday making different little things for him to eat (and froze), he still prefers mini sandwiches the most though

I am so lazy I don't even bother with the high chair for these ones, he gets a big plate with a mix of things on it and we usually sit on the deck so the mess doesn't matter. My biggest problem is that he has learnt that the cats like his scraps!
PS I bribe Z too at breakfast, he loves toast so he gets that first bar one or two bits, then meal then last bits of toast hehe
