Daily Vegas ~ Learning to eat with a spoon & A special announcement!

October 17, 2010 By Emily 12 Comments

“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??

And we ended the night with some yogurt thickened with oatmeal. But it was way more fun to dump it on ourselves then actually eat it. He also really enjoyed squishing the textures between his hands and clapping… it was worth the mess. 🙂 I know he looks sad in these pictures, but I think it was because there was no more food to make a mess with.

And now for a special announcement!!

    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.
