Meal time with the Ty Guy is usually no big deal. Sometimes he'll refuse to eat anything offered by shaking his head "no" which is a huge help--way better than just smacking the food down. And sometimes he'll eat but only if he has his own spoon to hold/use. During many meals in the past, his spoon is his toy to swirl around in the food/stab a bunch. He is just getting the hang of actually putting in with something on it into his mouth, though! He ate this whole yogurt (just about) by himself.
(Unfortunately, it blends into his skin too well so you can't quite see what a beard he's created.)
After many failed attempts, Ty has also mastered the snack trap cup, which goes with us just about everywhere. Now instead of having to hand him one little bite at a time, he can get them himself. Brilliant. I'm sure he doesn't mind that I rarely empty it out; just keep filling it up with more goldfish/Annie's bunny crackers/oyster crackers/cheerios/veggie straws.
Ty also had--and enjoyed!--half of a children's multivitamin today, which the doc recommends just to make sure he's getting all he needs minerally. Sure, he makes a big ol' mess, but I like watching him try to do things on his own and even clap for himself when he can. What a big kid...
