Rolling back and forth at meal time!

Eli and I have a new game that we play while I'm feeding him. He sits in his high chair, and I sit in a chair facing him with my feet up on the lower crossbar of his high chair. With my knees elevated like that, Eli can put his feet on my knees and push. His high chair is on wheels, so that sends him rolling away from me. (I have a hold of the high chair with my feet so he doesn't go too far!)

After each bite, Eli pushes and rolls away, and I get the next bite of food ready on his spoon. Then I hold the spoon out to him, and pull him (in his chair) towards me, and give him the food on the spoon when he's close enough! Then we do it again! This keeps Eli focused on eating, and it's fun for both of us!
