Gerber has the most wonderful invention. The Puff. Or Stars as Helen calls them. They come in all sorts of disgusting, yet wonderful to a baby flavors, like corn and sweet potato. Oh, don't get me wrong, I love corn and sweet potatoes, but generally not in my snack foods.
The beauty of the Puff is that is a great starter solid food. It dissolves just about the instant it hits the tongue. Perfect for little fingers to grab, but a good tool to learn the art of chewing, a precursor to the Cheerio. At least that is what I remember my pediatrician telling me about the Puff.
What she didn't tell me was how much free time the Puff would give me. Patrick just finished lunch and is enjoying a lovely dessert of banana puffs. I threw some on his tray and voila! He's chowing down. Mommy free. Its remarkable the things I can do with this 10 minutes of Puff time. Clean up the kitchen (let's face it, after feeding a toddler and a 9 month old, the kitchen can use a wipe down), unload the dishwasher, or the more frequent use of time...blogging and/or email checking. Regardless, I can't thank the wonderful people at Gerber enough for their amazing creation. They thought they were making strides in baby nutrition. Little did they know what they were doing for mommies everywhere.
