    I typically use my phone but once in a while I'll use my Fuji X-H1 and some prime lens to take some nicer photos.

    Baby Russian Suddenly Picky

    He used to touch the chopped food method but somehow stopped. Maybe I just need to stick with the chopped method a few days and he might eventually give in and eat it.
