Forks & Spoons....Oh My!

More and more each day Avery has been asserting his independence buy showing us all thing he can do by himself. Meal time is no exception. Most of Avery’s diet is finger food, or at least its finger food to him. But some foods are just a little to difficult to eat without a folk or a spoon, and when those are the foods on his tray Avery prefers to run his own fork and spoon. We still need to “load” the food for him but Avery takes care of the rest. The fork is Avery’s newest utensil, he loves when we hand him his fork with a tasty treat on it, he eats it right away, they flashes us a big smile while we praise him for his new folk skills. Avery has been manning his own spoon for longer, but it does still sometimes arrive to his month empty, but not as often.

I got this fork thing mastered!

Else where on the “dish” front, Avery has become an expect at using a sippy cup and drinks (with some help) from an open cup like a champ (no sippy cups at daycare) and only has a bottle at bed time. So fork, spoon, cup......check.....next up straws and chopsticks :)
