Learning to feed yourself is messy stuff

James and I realize that Jonah should have started trying to feed himself months ago. Yes, we have babied him but he is our first. We have started letting him try to put food into in his month. These pictures show how successful the attempt was. The bath water that night turned brown! He has started putting his snacks in his mouth but sitting in the high chair proves to be different story. He is definitely not a picky eater because everything WE PUT into his mouth he eats. I fed him a pickle the other day and he didn't make a face.

It's moments like these that make me crack up. And at the sometime worry, "will he ever feed himself & why didn't i know to start this early". As a mom, you never know if you are doing the right thing at the right time. It's such an instinctual thing and sometimes I forget to turn it on.
