I saw on my girlfriend's blog that her little girl who's about the same age as Hannah is feeding herself pretty well with a spoon. This is something that we've been kind of putting off as we just dread the complete mess that will come along with it. However, not wanting to spoon feed Hannah until she's 21, I decided to let her give it a try this morning.
She really thought she was big stuff when I handed her the spoon. She knew how to hold it and even get it into her mouth without food on it.
However, just handing her a spoon and putting a bowl of oatmeal in front was probably not the best approach.
Notice that after about 2 seconds she completely forgot the spoon and just dove in hands first.
This obviously wasn't working, so instead I decided to let her help me feed her. We've obviously got some work to do.

It's never bad to let them experiment. I bet it keeps her really busy while you're eating dinner!
