the life of baby jude

On Saturday, Mommy bought me a spoon specially designed for little guys like me to feed themselves with. She also got me a training fork with my favorite fuzzy pal-- ELMO!-- on it! This is all very exciting. In my efforts to become a big boy, I am learning how to get food on the spoon or fork and then into my mouth. This takes way more coordination than I originally thought. Let me tell you, it's waaay easier to just sit there and open your mouth and let M or D do it. But this is just something I gotta learn how to do. I know, eventually, I'll be a pro. For now, though, I get a lot of food on myself. I think that's part of the fun, though.


I did discover, however, that just putting the cup of applesauce right into your mouth works pretty well, too. Classy moves, no? I'm a little guy, but Mommy what's your excuse for doing this?
