We have discovered a new talent of Genevieve's - baby feeder! I'm not sure why we didn't come up with this sooner. I guess it's because Lincoln can be distractible when eating (so many fun things going on), and feeding a new eater isn't the easiest of jobs (or one for someone who isn't patient!).
A few days ago Grandma had Viva feed Lincoln some cheerios and yogurt. She was a good sport; he was a good sport... and then yesterday I had her feed him some soup to observe her technique in action. Not only did SHE do an awesome job, but Lincoln seemed to sense he needed to be on his best baby behavior. He sat up straight, watched the spoon, leaned forward for it... they're a great team. It was a beautiful thing.
I think I'll call it bonding time (better that than child labor, right? ha!) and encourage this type of activity. :) Watch out Bentley and Jake, Lincoln will be chasing you down with spoon in hand next...or maybe he'll learn to use a spoon? Hmmmm... !
