Now that he is getting bigger, he wants to feed himself. I am not sure if he is actually eating, though...it seems like he's mostly just spreading the food all over himself and his clothes and the high chair, and the floor. He hasn't quite figured out which end of the spoon is supposed to go in his mouth--but he sure wants to hold that spoon come mealtime! This is (if you can imagine) destroying our beige carpeting. Note to self--never have beige carpeting in the area where your baby eats. I think we are going to have to have it deep cleaned before the landlords return.
But that is not his only area of messy-expertise. His new favorite non-mealtime activity is taking things out of their places. He doesn't really seem to play with his toys too much, but he sure loves to take them out of their bins and scatter them all over the floor. This extends to non-toys as well--every drawer within his reach gets completely emptied several times a day. During nap time, I get things straightened up again...just in time for him to wake up!
We used two spoons when Kate got to that stage. At least one of them could have decent aim. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe mess making is an art that will continue to be perfected! Enjoy!
You should put a chuck underneath his high chair!
