Adventures in Eating

We are so proud of David's budding independence! Yesterday, he took a giant leap forward (in the eyes of us parents) in the journey from being fed to feeding himself. After great and adorable calculations, he figured out that if he could get a Cheerio stuck to his thumb and then suck his thumb, he could get the Cheerio in his mouth. Dad was a great cheerleader. I think it's neat how excited David was about the whole thing.

The new thing lately has been putting his head on the tray to see if he can scoop them directly into his mouth. I'm a little afraid of the messes that will undoubtedly end up on the floor... and glad they're wood and not carpet!
