Weird things Cole does while he eats

He flicks food, especially dried peas.

He dips chicken into hummus.

He refuses to let me heat up cooked pumpkin and eats it cold instead.

He dips his hands into cups of water or juice.

He digs his thumbs into soft foods, so we'll often find holes in his cucumber or demolished pizza slice.

He chews his food and then spits it out.

He pours water onto himself.

He likes to "clean" his food in milk or water.

He likes to dangle food over the floor and then OOOPS! drop it.

He likes to put food, especially fruit skins, onto his arm or the tops of his hands. Then he admires them.

He likes to put his food on the table in front of his plate and eat off of it there.

He likes to put his food underneath his plate and then "look" for it.

He'll hold his fork with one hand, but grab the food with the other.

Instead of sitting still, Cole constantly pushes his chair away from the table and then attempts to eat from the table.

When he eats a bread product, instead of eating the softer part first, he starts by eating the crusts. And if the thing dare have butter on it, he'll eat the center first.

Sometimes he'll put his foot up on the table while he's eating.

Foot up, meat in hand.

In terms of what he eats, Cole favors meats, grains, and fruit. He's not as crazy about veggies, potatoes, and he doesn't eat cheese by itself much anymore. Even though his habits are weird, we chalk it up to the quirks of toddlerhood.
