Mealtimes at our house used to be so easy. Small Fry was happy to have things spoon-fed to him. It took 15 minutes, tops, for him to be finished with supper.
Now that he's trying to feed himself, it's a whole different ballgame. He'll hold a spoon, but prefers to use his hands. It's especially fun with applesauce and yogurt. I haven't had the courage to give him spaghetti yet.
Sometimes he tries to use the spoon, though it's usually upside down.
There are other times when he tries to use both his hand and the spoon.
Either way, the end result usually looks something like this.
Thank goodness for baby wipes and Johnson & Johnson Baby Wash.
