Sometimes we can't feed Eli quickly enough. The other day I was feeding him some yoghurt and I made the mistake of stepping away for a few seconds to get some crackers...by the time I returned, Eli had grabbed the tub and the spoon and had started helping himself.
In fact, he did a great job - he didn't knock the tub over and most of the yoghurt even made it's way into his mouth. And as you can see from these photos, he obviously loved the freedom that comes with feeding himself.
Of course, eating becomes a distraction after a while and Eli soon decided that it might also be fun to play with his yoghurt. I was tempted to stop him at this point, but my curiousity got the better of me and I wanted to see how messy (=fun) things would get.
As you might have guessed, it turns out that Eli loves plunging his hand into the yoghurt tub, especially when I make the necessary noises to suggest that he shouldn't do it, like 'No! Don't do it Eli!'
