the art of the spoon

up until about a week ago, whenever dottie ate anything smooth, like yogurt, i helped her out a bit by spooning much of it in her mouth. if i didn't, things could get messy AND, chances are she would take the yogurt container and turn it upside down and then play with it on her mat. we have had a major breakthrough! now, i can give her a container of yogurt and she spoons MOST it all in her mouth with not too much of a mess. in fact, yesterday, the yogurt tipped over and spilled and she said, "uh oh" and wouldn't continue eating until i cleaned it up. she's growing up!
