Master of the Spoon

Jacob is feeding himself with a spoon! And I caught it on video! Recently, mealtime has been a struggle because Jacob wants to feed himself everything, even yogurt. Of course, he starts with putting his whole hand in the bowl which usually leads to some interesting food art on his table ... and on his shirt ... and on the floor ... and on his face. Caroline and I hold our tongues because it's all part of the learning process, but it's hard! So now he's got his own dishes and spoons which are designed to help him learn how to eat with utensils. When he's motivated, he can get a good four or five spoonfuls in his mouth. And in between his own bites, he takes some of ours.

In other news, Jacob is mastering his floor skills, rolling all around, getting up, laying down and crawling ... backwards anyway. We're in his last month of infancy. Next month - toddlerhood.
