Use a spoon

Ever since amy's in the young toddler room, she's been practicing using spoons. Other kids' ability with this little objective totally intrigues her. At the very beginning, she just insisted on holding a spoon whenever i feed her. She didn't really use it to do anything other than banging it on the table. And then she moved on to poking stuff with the spoon. One day we were sharing yogurt, she found out after dipping the spoon into the cup,there'd be some yogurt on it. She's so excited about this observation that day i have to eat 2 cups of yogurt, all fed by amy. Of course both of us end up dressing most of the yogurt. But it's totally worth it. Recently she can use the spoon to pick up peas and then slowly, clumsly, and adorably put them into her wide opened mouth. It's really hard for her to coordinate the eyes, the mouth, and the hands. So half of the time long before she put the food in front of her mouth, she's already open her mouth really really wide. It's so cute to watch. Of course, she still can't use spoon to take soup. Yesterday, she attempted a couple of time, and the soup all ended up on her clothes.
