does your toddler do this with eating?

when DS is eating, and he has a whole mouthful of food - let's say, for exampe's sake, it's something doughy, like pancakes - he will see something else he wants to eat - say, blueberries - and literally spit out the whole mouthful of the pancakes to get to and immediately eat the blueberries. it's so weird. why not just swallow the pancakes? he of course will not eat the spit out food once it's spit out.

Oh, yes....and it annoys me to no end. Like you said-- why not just finish what you are eating?

DS doesn't do exactly that, but if he has food in his mouth and decides he wants to take a drink he will take the food out and then drink.

Lovely, isn't it? He just started doing it in the past month or so. Although mine will eat the spit out food. Not sure if I find that to be a positive or not. Sometimes I feed him in 'courses' to try to avoid this. I'm hoping he outgrows it soon.
