“Beginnings are always Messy.” – John Galsworthy
We have started into the world of beginning to eat with utensils. I know some of you may think this is kind of late, but waiting until my son was showing interest in using them was something I wanted to wait for. And boy oh boy has he been starting to show a lot of interest. He grabs anyone’s utensils he can get a hold of and tries to sneak them into his mouth.
He knows what they are for, but trying to have the patience to get the food on the spoon and into his mouth is trying at best. He just isn’t that patient yet. So instead, we have nights like this. Normally I strip him down before he goes into his high chair, but today I forgot to. I am hoping that he can get the hang of it soon, it would be nice to move him into his toddler chair at the table. Anyone have any tips that worked well for them?
We started off with some Organic Hummus tonight – but as it turns out, he may be allergic to the red bell peppers that was in it. Which is odd, but I will have to see if it happens again. (Where ever his skin touched the bell pepper, he turned bright red.)
Mom – why are you taking my picture when I am ready for more food??

just dropping by for sunday citar!
with my 1st child, he is 4 now, the first time i let him feed himself was a roller coaster ride. at one time i think it's funny when he is messy. sometime, it gives me a headache. but always, utensils were around him. whether he uses it or not was another matter.
Squishy looks so funny!
Can't wait to see what's in store for the Toddler Wonderland event 😉
Great pictures! Sorry, I have no helpful tips–my toddler is still the messiest eater in the world! The event sounds fun too; we've added the button to our blog sidebar. Looking forward to it!
Wow, I don't think he missed any place on his face. Too cute!
I've added the event button to the right hand side of my blog.
