sporks are overrated

... after all - the best eating utensils are FINGERS - I mean that IS why God made our hands.... am I right or am I right?

Butofcourse, my pushy parents have started trying to get me to use a baby spork sometimes. You'll see from the videos, that I get the concept and all - but it's just so much easier & faster to use my hands. Thank goodness I am ambidextrous, because while mom's trying to get me to use a spork with one hand, I can still shovel bananas in with my other hand in between scoops. Gotcha, mom!

It is kinda hard to scoop up anything from my flat tray, so if mom's not helping me scoop, I have to pick up the food & put it onto my spork first. You can see me do that in the 2nd video. Hey - I'm learning, and in the meantime I am having a blast. Dad says I'm too busy being a ham to practice my skills.... me a ham? no way.

Speaking of food... I am an eating machine these days. I will eat just about anything & everything in site... and the more flavor, the better!

Mom keeps making comments that this is the best "diet" she's ever been on... she does not even have to try & she's cutting calories, because I'm eating 1/2 of the food on her plate. You name it - I'll eat it.... & the bigger the portions, the better!

This week has been full of new foods... tortellini with meat sauce, garlic 'n' herb chicken, kielbasa turkey sausage, chicken strips, ranch style beans, mac 'n' cheese... and my very first Dunkin' Donut!!!


You all stay tuned - by my next doctor appointment, I'll be at the top of the chart for weight - I'm packin' it on baby...bring on the grownup food & forget the grownup utensils!

Hey sweetheart,

You are growing up so fast! I can't believe you are eating with a spoon already! Good for you girlfriend.

I love you baby girl and I hope to see you soon!

Hey girlfriend...My goofy Mommy and Daddy for some reason are making me use the same thing...what is up with them...it's like every time we learn something new, they throw another curve ball at us!
I say we just do it our way!
XOXO,
Mia
