Eating Fun

Do all one-year-olds want to be totally independent or is it just Emerson?!? She's sure that she can pretty much do everything by herself. Eating is one of those examples. :) She started refusing baby food a while ago and only eats finger foods now. The good news is that she basically eats anything and everything we put in front of her, but it's hilarious because she is super messy of course and now she even wants to feed herself with a spoon too. When she sees us with our drinks she begs for a sip and then grabs the cup with both hands and tried to force it in her mouth.

Yummy blueberries...

Trying to eat applesauce by herself...she didn't do too bad of a job actually.


When she can't get anymore with a spoon, she just uses her hand or tries to lick the rest out...



Basically after every meal she's completely covered in food. She especially likes to rub it in her hair.


Here's Emerson trying to scare me while she's eating. She sees Zane do it all the time and wants to copy it but doesn't quite have it yet. I don't know what's scarier, how messy she is or her silly noises. :)

What a cutie! Maylee is not a huge fan of being fed either. We have been experimenting with how to just let her eat some foods on her own, but gosh I hate the mess!

It looks like you are in such a fun phase with your kids right now. I'm sure it is very busy, but I love all the pictures of them just playing around. :)

That's hilarious how she will lick the container clean. Gotta love the mess, especially the hair.
