Jacob Eats From A Spoon

Jacob takes his first stab at eating from a spoon. It was pretty evident after a few spoonfuls Jacob wasn't wasting time on his new found talent. He was beginning to open his mouth as he saw the spoon traveling through the air toward him. His mouth wasn't alway open wide enough to get a good scoop in, but I'm sure it will only be a matter of time.

It wasn't long before Jacob wanted to try this feeding thing on his own and was grabbing the spoon to help guide the spoon to his mouth quicker. While he liked the idea of helping, it was pretty evident to him that his help was only hindering the progress. Dad made a short-lived attempt at feeding. Jacob took this opportunity to once again try his hand at guiding the spoon. After all, with a relief "spooner" Jacob was sure to be better, or so he thought... The first spoonfuls from dad went more on his nose, head, shoulder, etc. than it did his mouth... While making a mental note, he gave into dad's attempts and began to relax once again and allowing himself to be fed.

Tune in tomorrow for part II of today...
