Dylan refuses to let us feed him. He grabs the spoon away from us as soon as it's near his face and then plays with it. So our solution has been to buy some soft silicone baby spoons and let him practice with them without any food. After about a week of this, he's actually getting okay at putting the business end in his mouth. We've been dipping the spoon in food, and letting him have it, then once he's gotten most of the food off, we deliver a second spoon with food, and take the first spoon away while he's distracted.
So, this week, we've had some decent success at feeding him mango pureed in yogurt, oatmeal, and cream of wheat. Today, he had what seems to be his favorite food so far. What was it? Hummus, of course, like a good Jewish baby (possibly in honor of Larry and Galit's upcoming wedding in Israel).
Here's Dylan post-cream of wheat:

We're also having a little success with finger foods. He absolutely loves chewing on the end of a baguette. Credit goes to a lady at the Cheeseboard for suggesting that and giving him his first try.
David's and Lorien's first finger foods were Cheerios. To this day Cheerios is a comfort food for David.
We recently had the best hummus I ever tasted in Isreal. Perhaps one day he will get to taste that along with Lachish grapes (we were a month too early for the grapes.)
Love,
Grandmom Dorothy
