Miss Independent!

My child is little Miss Independent. I wonder where she gets that from. :) For a while, I thought she was pushing my hand away because she didn't want to eat babyfood. I stopped feeding her babyfood altogether until I realized it was actually that she didn't want me feeding her. So, now she wants to feed herself. She can't quite get the food onto the spoon so I guide her in getting the food onto the spoon and then she can put it in her mouth. Needless to say there's a big mess afterwards. I try to save the messiest meals for dinner so we can go straight to the bathtub afterwards.
