The SPOON

For awhile we were feeding Ella most of her food pieces with a fork, and she was really good at it, but then we got lazy and went back to letting her pick it up with her hands or feeding it to her.  We had never let her try a spoon herself- waaaaay to messy.  After someone in one of my mom's groups asked if anyone was trying spoons yet, I realized I'm going to have to suck it up at some point and just let her start learning despite the messy consequences.  Most of the applesauce ends up in her hair, on her face, body, legs, arms, the countertop, the highchair, the floor and Rylee's back, but she's trying!
