Ellie is learning how to use a spoon.  Right now, I’m using my spoon to fill her spoon and then she puts it in her mouth.  (We found these cool small but “real” spoons at Crate and Barrel.)

She’s quite proficient at getting the spoon to her mouth.  She sometimes uses both hands to help guide the spoon.

Once it’s at her mouth, it gets a little messy though!

She is very insistent on getting more yogurt into her spoon.  She’s also just as decisive when she’s done.  Usually it goes something like: more, more, more, throw the spoon!

She also loves plain, whole milk yogurt but doesn’t like applesauce at all.  Hmmm.  Not exactly what I would have predicted!
