Sonia Feeding herself...

Based on our pediatrician's advice, I've started letting Sonia feed herself more often. It's always an adventure!

Breakfast - Sonia loves organic Os (Cheerios) with a little milk. She's good at holding the spoon but seldom gets any cereal to her mouth in the spoon. After a few tries, she typically resorts to holding the spoon in one hand and with the other hand digging cereal out of the bowl and into her mouth. It's pretty funny to see how proud she is of eating it herself (albeit without the spoon). I can sometimes get her to put stickier stuff (like squash or mashed potatoes) into her mouth if I fill the spoon and put it in her hand.


Snack - Sonia loves fresh pear pieces. Since this is a fine motor exercise, she's good at it. Yay!


And, speaking of butternut squash, here's the result of a bit of "self feeding". It makes for a great picture but takes a bit of cleanup!


I guess we need to keep practicing! :o)
