I remember that Tyler used to take FOREVER. It literally seemed like all his activity time at that age was spent in the high chair or sucking down a bottle. Hasn't changed much, either...he still goes through phases where he eats a ton of food and eats it SLOOOOOW. Just this morning, he spent an entire hour eating his breakfast (all finger food, which he's an old pro at by now), eating the whole time but slower than molasses. Each baby has their own pace, and some just like to take their own sweet time! If it's ever pretty obvious that he isn't interested, I end the meal.
