Eating

EL has been practicing eating with his hands and spoon. He is now pretty good at eating bread and some vegetable sticks with his hands. When Mama puts some food on his spoon (that wouldn't easily fall from it), he can also bring the spoon to his mouth. However, he keeps chewing on it even after the food is gone. He also does not want to let go of the spoon, so it's hard to continue feeding him. :P Mama is now trying to use two spoons to feed him. One for him to hold onto and the other to actually feed him.



This morning, EL ate Papa's breakfast! We placed Papa's sandwiches on a table. Mama was pulling out EL's clothes and Papa was getting dressed. EL was being quite, so Mama looked to see what he was up to. There he was siting on the floor eating Papa's bread. Since he is learning to eat bread on his own, he probably thought that it was for him! :D

EL is starting to eat more like Papa and Mama's food. He sometimes has the same meal (with less seasoning) as Papa and Mama. The other day, he had onigiri (rice balls).
