Messy Face

We started Cody on food about 2 months ago. He is doing really good with everything I have given him. So, people would tell me that babies don't like the rice cereal that you start them out on so I was really nervous about it. To my surprise Cody loves the rice cereal. He also loves the oatmeal cereal. I think he likes those more than vegetables and fruits. He basically likes everything, but pears and I only tried those once so I am going to try that again. I am grateful that he likes food so much.
Every time I go to get him food he puts his arm up in the air and bangs his hands on the tray.
If I put down the food for one second he freaks out and worries that he is not getting food. He is such a garbage disposal.
