Self feeding

The kids are slowly learning to feed themselves. They have been able to hold their bottles for about 3 weeks now. Chelsea can even palm the bottle with one hand. What a great new found freedom for mom and dad.
The Gerber puffs took a little getting used to. We are not sure if it was the flavor or the texture they did not like at first, but they are big fans now of Peach and Sweet Potato. However, they are still not proficient at eating them on their own. They have gotten to the point where they bring a puff to to their mouths with their hands, but they don't know to let go of it so they end up pulling it away from their mouths. And then just throw it down. When you hold it in your hand for them to pick up, Colman just brings his mouth down to your hand to get the puff. Funny little guy.
We have also been showing them the joy of self feeding with a food mesh contraption. Chelsea loves it. She will chomp on it for a long time. Colman only chomps for a few minutes and throws it on the ground. We are mopping the floors pretty regularly.
So it will be a long road til they are true do it yourselfers, but that's ok if it means being our sweet babies for a little longer.
