Table manners

For some time now I have been putting off giving Evan a spoon to feed himself. This is largely because I imagine spoonfuls of food being launched catapult-style across the room. But, yesterday we finally decided to go for it and let Evan feed himself some pears (yes, I did intentionally choose something that matches the neutral decor of our apartment . . . just in case). We were pleasantly surprised by his display of table manners.



At some point the feeding experience devolved into the irresistible fun of sticking our fingers in the bowl of pears, but given his squeamishness about certain food textures we decided to let him enjoy. I guess we'll work on that table manner for next time . . .
