Messy Little Eater

Jackson is going through a phase where he will only eat if he feeds himself.  He no longer eats pureed foods except yogurt, oatmeal...things like that.  He pretty much eats anything that we eat.  For example, yesterday he ate eggs, strawberries, muffin and cheese for breakfast.  For lunch he ate quesadilla, watermelon, peas, and a cracker.  And for dinner, he ate pork chop, broccoli and pears.  It has been really nice, not having to prepare anything extra for Jackson, but there have been two negatives that have come out of this new development; It takes Jackson an hour to eat every meal and the disaster left behind requires me to clean the child, the tray, the floor and every nook and cranny in his highchair seat.  Boosie likes to help with this task!
