Feeding Myself

Mommy and Daddy introduced me into the world of delicious foods this past weekend.  They ventured to Whole Foods again and bought exactly one organic gala apple and one organic sweet potato.   The bill was $1.20.  (Mommy and Daddy hardly ever buy anything organic, but they are willing to “splurge” a little for me.)  After taking the produce home, Mommy and Daddy pureed them and put them into little containers so that I can explore other food besides cereal and Baby Mum Mum.   It’s not surprising that I actually like apples and sweet potato.  Which kid doesn’t like sweet things?

My ability to eat with a spoon is improving day by day.  The tongue thrust is now only partially there and I now know when to open my mouth.  Mommy and Daddy found that I actually eat better with a spoon when I hold the spoon and attempt to “feed” myself.  Just holding the spoon gives me a sense of independence and gives Mommy and Daddy a little insight into my personality.

See me trying to feed myself:
