Feeding Himself (Well, Trying Anyway)

Ben really enjoys trying to feed himself. "Trying" is the operative word in that sentence.

He insists on holding the spoon himself. If I try to get sneaky and give him a spoon and then use a spoon myself to attempt to get food into his mouth, he commandeers both spoons. If it is a jar food or yogurt, he likes to hold that himself too. Here are the results of Ben's attempt.





I believe Lily was neatly feeding herself at around 12 months. Ben is 15 months, and clearly his skills still need some polish.
