Self-Feeding Techniques

Chica is quite enthusiastic about feeding herself these days, when the meal allows for it.

You know--something easy to fork that won't fling all over the place on its way to her mouth.

Now watch as the toddler eyes the fruit with great interest before going in for the enthusiastic, double-fisted munch. (*Spoken in a whisper like an announcer following a species in the wild.)

Of course, said species also has a slightly more, um, shall we say, unique? approach to self feeding.

Now watch as the toddler takes the fruit snack from her mother, places is on fluffy surface, and dives in hands-free (whilst holding onto her beloved Om Nom stuffed animal), like she's bobbing for apples:

Yep, that's my crazy kid.

And that's how she ate every single fruit snack in the pack yesterday.

Hehe.

Of course, there's one food she'll eat, regardless of how it's served:

CAKE!

Happy Day-Before-Friday (Why Are Holiday Weeks Sometimes So Long?), peeps!
