I'll admit I haven't been really persistent about trying to get Gabriella to feed herself with a spoon (and never mind even thinking of a fork!!). But, every time I did try, it didn't go so well. She really, really resists when I try to help guide her and it often ended in total hysterics and an abrupt end to a meal before really getting started. Or, she'd put the spoon down and shove her hands into the bowl.
But, this morning, I decided that at 17 months, it's high time we really start getting the hang of this. So, I took a deep breath, put her yogurt into a bowl and gave her the spoon. She dipped it in a few times and licked the spoon and then actually started having some success with getting it into the spoon and then in her mouth. Getting the spoon right-side-up wasn't always achieved (and that guiding thing once again didn't go so well), but all-in-all it was progress.
Grandma sent Gabriella a new purse. It just happened to match the outfit she had on when it came!
Lovin' on her kitty. She just loves her Bing.
Bing, do you see the lizzies outside???? Mommy says it looks like a miniature version of Jurrasic Park out there these days.
Hmmmm, which shoes should I wear today?
Mommy, can you help me?
OK, I'll wear these since they match my purse.
Hmmmm, what's in my shopping cart?
Aha, purses!!!!
Given her obsession with shoes and purses, she is her mother's daughter :-)

She loves her some purses...That is so cute.
can't wait to see you guys again.
Looks like she was doing pretty good with that spoon.
She is so cute. I love how she has to accessorize herself and always color coordinated too. She is too cute!!
Keep letting her practice - she'll get it. Alex is so much better with his spoon and he's really only been using it for a couple weeks.
And I just adore all of the purses. That is a girl after my heart!! (I have more purses than I'm willing to admit!!)
Love the purse!!! Looks like she getting the hang of feeding herself.

Good job with the spoon! Savannah prefers a fork. She can stab her food pretty well these days, so you might want to give it a try. You may be surprised.
Love the purses and the shoes. So funny! Nurture--definitely! Teach them well the art of shopping and the important things in life!!! Ha, ha!
She is just precious and I love the purple shoes!!!!
Good girl eating all by herself!!!
She is so good at accessorizing all her cute outfits!!!
Alleen I am soooo impressed with her eating with a spoon!!!! I wish I would have blogged when Caleb was born!!! I did not start the spoon until very late with him-- I honestly don't remember but I fed him myself forever and to this day he is probably the messiest eater on the planet!!! :O) I am so impresssed with Gabriella!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am trying to start with Sophie young but I give up with no progress!!!!!!!!!!!

I love it when I find purses in my cart, too!
Oy feeding issues. I hope you have the strength to keep it up. Olivia just started grabbing the utensil away from me, so I let her have control. Kevin came to us knowing how to feed himself. I hope she gets the hang of it soon
