Last night, I ate an entire container of green beans. This is a major accomplishment. It has taken many weeks of practice to not push any food that enters my mouth out with my tounge. I started with just a few bites and last week I made it to a half of a container. But then last night?! Success! I finished green beans (my big brother's nemesis) all by myself. Okay, so more than half of them got on my face and the tray and my bib. But I finished the container nonetheless. Success! Daddy and Mommy were so proud.

Great accomplishment!! Especially all the beans in his nose..... Now, just wait 'til he can shove the "real" bean in his nose. (just a suggestion, Elijah!!)

Just fyi - pushing things out of the mouth with the tongue is a reflex that babies have from birth, because they are designed to consume only breastmilk until at least 6 months. In fact some mothers don't introduce foods until their children are closer to one year old. So don't rush the foods! Breastmilk/formula are still all he needs, and the fact that he still has that reflex may be a sign that he's not quite ready for food, or lots of food.
