Spaghetti and Silverware!

Well, we decided Savannah needed to start attempting silverware, so we got her a little plastic fork and spoon. We tried it out on spaghetti night, because we figured we already strip her down and prepare for big messes on that night anyway. At first she just kind of stared at us like, "Why would I use this when I could use my fingers?!" and while she held the fork in one hand, she used the other hand for the feeding process! :) By the time dessert rolled around however, she was using the spoon to put ice cream pie in her mouth and while she missed a little bit every now and then, we were pretty impressed for the most part. Ice cream is easier to keep on a spoon than spaghetti is to keep on a fork! By the end of the meal she was pretty messy though, and quite proud of it (notice all of the chocolate crust from the pie all over her belly)! She got a bath immediately, and Sasha helped clean up the floor (look at the last picture)! :) We decided silverware is something we'll try when we have a lot of time, and many cleaning supplies on hand! :)
