Eating with a spoon

I was feeling a little bored today with the same ol' lunch time routine of cheese, ham, pasta, carrots, and a fruit and decided to let Emily try to feed herself her apple sauce with the new toddler spoons I bought yesterday at Target. As you can see she did a GREAT job and was very creative with her apple sauce "art":




I don't like these spoons. The mouth of the spoon is too deep so Emily couldn't get any out of the spoon into her mouth without flipping it upside down. So I'm still searching for a good trainer spoon. I like the ones my mom had at her house so I've got to try to find some of those. I think companies like to spend 30 cents a spoon and put a bunch of different varieties on the market so we'll spend $3.00 a pack trying to find the one that works . . . $15.00 later we have spoons that we like and the companies have made a ton of money off of our experimentation . . .

The new things Emily has done this week are covering her eyes with her hands to play peek a boo, she has said "bana" for banana, she has said car, she has tried to put her shoes on her feet, she loves to get my mouse and mouse pad down and bring them to me wherever I am, she makes a high pitched squeak when I ask her what a cat says, and says a small arf when I ask her what a dog says (even though she still calls all dogs Bud when she sees one in the neighborhood).
