We let Marley try feeding herself tonight! Asa grilled us some steaks, so we sat down to eat them and gave Marley some broken crackers to try and catch. She chased them around her tray for a while and then finally got a few pieces in her hands and up to her mouth. Then they fell out... but I have to give her credit. She didn't even get frustrated. She just kept trying! Eventually she got a few tiny pieces into her mouth and chomped on them until they dissolved.
After she tried that, I cut up some strawberry for her to try. That was pretty unsuccessful since they are so slippery. So, I gave her a huge chunk of strawberry. I didn't take my eyes off of her, so don't worry. She just gnawed on it for like 10 minutes and loved it. She smiled and giggled her way through it.
This ended up making a huge mess all over her face, hair, neck, onesie, legs... I can't think of anywhere it didn't end up... But luckily it was bath time after that!
I was so proud of the fact that she could actually pick things up! She is getting so smart! She is almost 8 months, so I am going to read about all the stuff I can gibe her now. I know she can try cheese, yogurt, meat, more fruits and veggies... I'm excited and she better be too!
