Eating with a fork

More and more, I look at Josie and think how much she is already turning into a little girl. This morning was one of those moments. I made pancakes for breakfast this morning and had cut them up into little bites. I set her fork on the table. (Sometimes she eats more when I feed her, others when she feeds herself. I never know which mood she'll be in)

We've given her a fork and a spoon every now and then to play with and start to get more accustomed to using it. She usually only manages to push the food around on the tray, occasionally hooking it on one of the tines but never managing it into her mouth. Except today! She grabbed the fork off of the table and all of a sudden, she could eat nearly perfectly with her fork. It was just as if she woke up today and could coordinate it. She ate the whole pancake (with the exception of a few bites with her fingers) all by herself using the fork.

Even though I was in such surprise, I was able to take a few pictures so I could blog about it.

That is so awesome! Using a fork is a big deal it takes a lot of hand eye coordination, way to go Josie!

Yay Josie! She looks exactly like you I think. So any recommendations on where I should sign Maddy up for gymnastics in this area???? Will you give her private lessons :)
