Hand Check!

So I have learned the importance of the hand check. If your baby has recently learned to eat cheerios or Gerber Sweet Potato Puffs all by himself (Jonathan's Latest accomplishment), it is important that you check his hands when you lift him out of the high chair. If you don't common sense would tell you that what ever may be in his hand (a partially dissolved sweet potato star) would find itself mangled and matted in your hair when you pick him up and he naturally grabs it.

Yes, I learned this the hard way!
