I am always thrilled when my babies reach what I refer to as "the Cheerio stage". The stage in which they can feed themselves small pieces of food. Makes dinner time so much more enjoyable when they can sit in their high chair and participate without having to be handed every bite.
The downside to this stage is that they can also pick up tiny rocks, legos, crumbs, and every other piece of junk left laying on the floor. Which at our house is quite a bit. Ahem.
The art of feeding oneself in four easy steps:
Reach

Grab

Insert
Lick fingers clean

The last step must not be skipped, because it is simply adorable and brings smiles to everyone at the table. :)
