Adventures in meal time

Meal time in our house has become quite the adventure. You see Miss Kiya has decided that she would prefer to feed herself. Not just finger foods mind you but cereal, yogurt, soup, anything and everything and she wants to use a fork and/or a spoon by herself.

Here are a few pictures of our recent adventures. To her credit she is quite good with a spoon I think for being almost 15 months. She scoops quite well and actually holds the spoon pretty well and gets it mostly in her mouth. Sometimes she puts too much stuff on the spoon which is fun.

As for a fork she can't quite stab the food herself but if you help her get the food on the fork she can feed herself from there. As you can see in the photos she is quite focused and very proud of herself. We are proud of her too and are learning to let go of the utter mess that has become meal time.

Could she be any cuter even when she is so messy? Our baby girl is growing up and is so independent.
