more DIY feeding

we've observed jack's efforts at self-feeding here on the blog previously.

so ... it's about time to check in and see how he's doing with this skill.



things are still fairly messy ...



and sometimes we lose all control and table manners ...




but, it is somewhat effective ... as you see no one is starving here ...



this was yesterday's attempt with oatmeal. today's breakfast of cottage cheese and egg went only slightly better. and left less of a charlie chaplin mustache.

but ... jack is very much refusing to be fed now. he will let you shovel in the initial few bites, but after that, he wants to be in control.

so, mommy has realized we must have intensive practice on keeping the spoon right-side-up. either that or invest very heavily in swiffer wet cloths!

ah, our little tramp ...

  1. Carey says try the three-spoon trick. He gets one for each hand and you hold one in reserve, shoveling it into his mouth while he smears his face with the other two.
