Unfortunately my baby is discovering his independance.....yes, at 15 months, Ollie has decided that he no longer wants to be fed by us and he wants to do it all himself! I was dreading this day because it just means so much mess but I'm slowly learning to embrace the mess and Ollie's new found independance.
He has a really good try with a baby spoon but if that doesn't work, he tips his bowl upside down and uses his hands to shovel as much food into his mouth as he can......the rest gets thrown around the room. I went into Lincraft the other day and bought a big sheet of PVC to cover the floor with but his food still lands on our lovely floors :) We've also taken to eating outside at night and putting Ollie on the grass so that whatever mess he does make, gets eaten up by our resident possum.
The photo on the left is Ollie at 15 months feeding himself yoghurt and the photo on the right is Jett feeding himself at 15 1/2 months.
