Eating with a spoon!

Megan has been feeding herself breakfast for some time now; however, she does it with one of us holding onto the end of the spoon and her doing all of the work.  The reason for this is that she had always thrown the spoon.  She would take a bite and then throw the spoon and no matter how many times we told her not to do that it wouldn't change.  After each bite the spoon would go flying, so we stopped letting her hold it by herself.

Tonight I decided to give it a whirl again, after all so many things have changed with the new diet.  VICTORY!  Megan fed herself a bowl of beans (she ate 12-15 bites) without throwing her spoon.  She did attempt to throw it initially and I told her to put it back in the bowl or hold onto it and she did great.  She started out using her left hand and ate most of it and then switched hands for a few bites.  She did drop the spoon over the edge and onto the floor when she was finished; but huge progress tonight.
