Messy Eating

I have to admit, I'm a late starter at giving Cy real food. He only started eating solids daily at about 7 or 8 months, but now wants nothing to do with the slimy baby food. He gets completely offended when we eat dinner at the table and leave him playing on the ground. He wants to be in the middle of everything, which is why I allowed him to give it a go the other night. It didn't take more than a few seconds till he tipped over the celery and ranch dressing and proceeded to make a huge mess everywhere. Mike and Madi were completely grossed out at the greasy spectacle, but I could help but let him go to town...he was so proud of himself and loved crunching away at the celery.
