Gracie has been using a sippy cup for about a month now, and that’s been going really great. She’s completely off the bottle (in fact, we sold all of our bottles at our yard sale last weekend, so there’s no turning back now!), and she’s doing great. Now, we’re letting her get used to other utensils at mealtimes. She loves waving around spoons. She thinks they are hammers. But when she’s not beating things with them, she actually tries to use them. She’ll poke her food in an attempt to scoop some up on her spoon, but she’s still not sure how to keep the food on her spoon when she shoves it in her mouth. But, she’s getting the hang of it.
This week we started giving her her food in a real bowl. Some days, she eats right out of it and doesn’t even blink. But, then there are other days…
Maybe we’ll wait a little bit longer on the plate…
1) Jen @ Ginger Guide: We're in the same boat. Sometimes Sullivan does awesome with his fork and others he just gets it tangled in his hair. LOVE tha last picture! She's like "whoa! Now what?" (05.02.2012 09:14pm)
2) Leslie: Nice hat Gracie, nice hat indeed. (05.02.2012 09:20pm)
3) Alyssa: Oh Gracie, you're so silly. Kara would love to eat dinner with you :) (05.02.2012 09:33pm)
4) Janie: She looks so much like you in these pictures! =) (05.02.2012 11:24pm)
5) Sarah@Crazy Love Gamble-Style: Can you blame her? Totally looks like a hat to me. (05.02.2012 11:28pm)
6) Meredith J: hehehehe... the last picture is so cute. Looks like she trying to balance on a wire while walking across with her dinner bowl on her head. Silly adorbs little lady! :D (05.03.2012 01:40am)
7) Kate B: I'm impressed that she's staying so clean without a bib! I just realized, I never see Big Molly lurking around in the pics of your kiddos eating. Do you shut her out of the room or is she just that well behaved? (05.03.2012 09:35am)
8) Peggy in NC: You go Gracie Girl - all you need is a cane so you can strut your stuff :-) Too cute! (05.03.2012 10:43am)
9) Mindee@ourfrontdoor: And that's why babies who get their hair late are so much easier. :) (05.03.2012 11:49am)
10) Kat: HA this is so happening in our household. P is now in love with the fork. And she loves her sippy cup, don't get me wrong but just never for milk. She will literally drink anything out of her sippy except for milk. We swapped to one of those Nuby transition sippys that looks like a bottle, but that's as far as we got. The battle goes on...
