I can do it!

Leia is on the path to becoming self sufficient. She is quite forceful at grabbing the spoon while eating and sometimes it is easier to give it then play tug-o-war. I have to laugh at her though when the bowl is empty and she is upset because she is still hungry. This is the immediate consequence of smearing your food all over your face, the bowl, and the chair instead of getting it in the belly!

Trying to load up the spoon.

Success! (At least the spoon went in her mouth, the yogurt...not so much.)

This is a pleasing sensory experience.

What if I just use my fingers?

See mom? I got this!
