Navigating the hilly terrain of motherhood

Tesseatingwspoon

Sweet baby Tess seems to be changing right before my eyes. This morning I was putting yogurt on a little spoon, then handing her the spoon so she could feed herself. I’ve been doing this for a while now, ever since she showed an interest in her sister’s utensils. This morning, however, she started pointing at the bowl of yogurt, saying,"mo!". So I gave her the spoon AND the bowl, and she proceeded to finish off her entire breakfast, all by her little self. Adorable, and amazing, considering that I didn’t even let Grace get her hands on a spoon until she was 18-months old. (‘Too messy!’ I thought – my goodness, how I have relaxed since then!) And Tess was quite pleased with herself, or else she could sense how proud I was – the look on her face was priceless. Or maybe she was trying to tell me how ridiculous I looked while I jumped up and down and squealed "good girl!".
