Baby Spoon $2.99
Plastic Bib $1.99
Mommy letting me try to feed myself oatmeal...Priceless!
Tonight we hit a milestone... After letting Karis feed herself little pieces of banana, I reached for her oatmeal. Feeding her several bites I thought, "Ya know, she's gotta start sometime.". Holding the plastic spoon in her little hand, I showed her 3-4 times how to scoop up the cereal, and bring it to her mouth. Then I let go...
She didn't miss a beat. Into the bowl went the spoon, then back to the mouth fully loaded. The aim was a little off, but the enthusiasm more than made up for any lack of dexterity. She did so well. Eventually the fingers of her left hand made it into the bowl and the real fun began. She ended up with her first oatmeal facial! LOL
After some filming, daddy took the highchair out to be hosed down while mommy took Karis for her first well earned shower. A new chapter in our lives has begun. Our kitchen floor will never be the same again. Hmmm, maybe now is a good time to subscribe to the daily newspaper...
