Feeding Himself

Chance has been feeding himself finger foods for some time now but I have been reluctant to give him the spoon to try feeding himself for fear of the mess that I knew would come of it. But the other day I broke down and gave him the spoon and to my suprise he put it right in his mouth. Then he dipped it a few times in his fruit sauce and put it back in his mouth. the first night the spoon would go in upside down a bit but the second night he had it turned the right way and fed himself the whole second half of his yogurt. Now he can get it in the jar and to his mouth almost everytime. He is still messing but he has good control of the spoon. Better than I thought he would after jsut a few days of trying. Now he really likes to feed himself. After I feed him about half of whatever he is eating then he wants to feed himself the other half. Another thing I have noticed that he has started doing is prefering to hear the same book over again at bed time. I will read him a book and when I turn the last page and say 'the end' Chance turns the pages back to the first page and then holds the book open and looks at me as if to read it again. When I start reading again he turns the pages at the right time without me even having to ask him to turn them. He has been having a little trouble with night time over the last week and so we are trying to push his night time back by half an hour to 8:30 to see if that helps, we will let you know. Look at those two silly faces. P.S. thanks to Scott for handling the blog last night.
