It's been well over a month of training now. F can
- Put food onto a spoon with one hand
- Take food off a spoon with one hand
- Eat food with one hand whilst holding a spoon in the other
- Hold an empty spoon and bowl and pretend to eat out of it
- Not actually combine these activities to eat with a spoon yet
The blast radius for her feeding attempts is about a foot smaller, although this merely means it's also about an inch deeper in partially-masticated goo.
This is all quite frustrating for all concerned. This probably also means it's normal.
She's still got to go through 'scoop up food with a spoon, open her mouth and tip the food down her front'. Self-feeding with a spoon is tricky. IW
ReplyDeleteShe does open her mouth well in advance of putting a spoon (an empty spoon, always) into it. You can see the wheels turning - I guess we're all old hands and take it for granted, but there's a lot to remember the first time out I guess.
DeleteI love how Edith opens her mouth really wide to give herself a bigger target to aim at. Cute in an uncouth way, my daughter.
