Spoon Feeding
Today was Sophie’s first attempt feeding herself with some porridge at lunchtime. Look here if you can’t see the video.
I finally plucked up the courage to let her try. I was thinking of waiting till she turned one to do it but I was clearing the cupboards and found this floor mat which Cel gave me long time ago. It is meant for messy feeding time.
Boy was it messy! It was hilarious! Esp the part when she put her head into the bowl! At the same time I was so thrilled to see that she kinda knew what she was supposed to do! It was a really messy end but thank God for the floor mat. I had to undress Sophie n put her in another chair so that she didn’t mess up the kitchen with the remaining bits. And into the bathe she went after that. Pretty simple and so fun! I tried it again at dinner and she fed herself consecutively 5 spoonsful! Wah! Super! Ok lah i donno how other kids her age do it hee hee but I was pretty impressed she managed to do it!

Wow…Sophie is so clever. I still don’t dare to let Amabel try feeding on her own. I worry the mess. Lol~

haha! you should let amabel try lah… it’s very fun one… I laugh until almost peng. Can do over the weekend mah… after that just bathe her. Oh… but normally even if i feed her, I will let her “play” with a spoon. So she’s learnt how to manage a spoon, just need more practice…

You will hv to cook more porridge becos half will go onto the floor! She is really cute and her motor skills are pretty good too. I’m amazed she managed to scoop the porridge and aim at the mouth.. well done Sophie!

A’s mom: Ya! Let her try k? Let me know how it goes!
The trick is just to enjoy or else will get very stressed one… hee
nyet: haha ya.. I will feed her from another bowl. If she eats by herself, it’ll be too slow lah… But i was quite amazed too… by lunchtime today, she pretty much could manage on her own. Very messy lah but it’s ok….
