Self Feeding Like a Big Boy!

Just the other day when I posted Harrison's 11 month update I wrote that I was excited to see what new developments this month would hold for us. Little did I know that he would acquire a new skill in less than a week from the time I wrote that. What's the new skill?

He can eat with a fork! Last night during dinner he picked up the spoon I had laid on his tray and started stabbing at some of the food that he had not eaten yet. I thought "Hmm, wonder if he could actually get some of that in his mouth if I gave him a fork". So, I handed him a fork and watched closely to make sure he didn't jab himself in the eye. I'd say " Look Harrison, can you eat like Mommy?" and I'd take a bite. Sure enough, a few bites actually made it to his mouth! I was so impressed that I forgot to take a picture! (that's pretty rare for me!) 

Tonight at dinner time, I had my camera in hand when I handed him the fork and was able to catch some successful bites on film! I am so proud of this little guy, but he is growing up way to fast!
