What a Messy Mess!!!!

But it's awesome to watch my youngest little one eat by himself with a spoon for the first time :) Ty is such a determined little guy. He weaned himself off the bottle very early, and he wants to eat everything by himself. So, i decided to give it a go at 14 months ...... he caught on very quickly and now feeds himself EVERYTHING with only minor help from mom and dad. You rock Tyster!
