The other day, Little B got to try eating his oatmeal all on his own. It was a good first food to try with a spoon in that it stuck to the spoon really well, but a bad first-try food in that he doesn't LOVE his cereal. I tried to remedy that problem by adding cinnamon to the mix, but he didn't seem overly impressed. Be that as it may, he still gave it the ol' college try.

He went after the first few bites with gusto.

Most of the cereal made it into his mouth, but he quickly lost interest in feeding himself the beige blobby stuff. Oh well, not bad for a first try.

We have since tried applesauce, which fared very well, and yogurt, which held his enthusiasm but was quite messy as it was of a thinner consistency.
No matter what, though, he gets totally geeked to be handed a spoon or fork and have a suction bowl in front of him. Gotta love that first taste of autonomy!
