Mastering the Spoon

There are two steps to mastering the use of a spoon. Since October, when this photo was taken, Katie has slowly been learning how to eat off of a spoon full of food that is fed to her. She still hasn't figured out how to scoop and lift food to her own mouth, though. Sometimes I think we didn't do enough of the classic "parent opening their own mouth wide while offering food" maneuver, because she only opens her mouth the minimum amount necessary to get some of the food in. But at least she doesn't spit it at us like her siblings used to do.
