Do you all really think we're that stupid to actually let him eat dog food? We were right there. We either caught the food as he tried to put it in his mouth or immediately removed it from his mouth. He just has a ball doing this and still has no concept of "no" so rather than fight him right now, we're just letting him explore and learn.

The last photo was actually a Cheerio, not dog food, but it made for a cuter story. Yes, he's already eating solid food quite nicely.

So those who PMed me, thanks for ruining a thread that I had fun with.
Oh man ... I don't normally post in threads about peoples kids, but I had to after reading what you said above. I think the look on his face as you busted him at the bowl is just priceless -- and try not to let the cranks get to you. I enjoyed your thread, and for the most part it seems that a lot of other PTers did as well. Heck, my mom has some pictures of me sharing the milkbones with the dog, and I turned out mostly normal.

I'm sure that the people who are complaining about the potential of letting the kid eat the dogfood are the same ones who would happily plonk their kids down at a Taco Bell -- which is likely on par with dogfood

Please don't let a few people dissuade you from posting your pics!
