Noah is now dropping things (not food yet, thankfully – just toys, spoons, kitchen utensils, etc.) on purpose during meal times when sitting in his high chair.  We’ve determined that when Noah is holding something, such as a block or even a baster (see below picture), he is more willing to open his mouth to be fed.  However, now he is just holding said object over the side of the highchair and repeatedly dropping it.  I don’t think he has made the connection between dropping food and Charlie, but I don’t think we have too much longer to wait!
