food and drink

starting in October, Julian has been transitioning to one nap a day, right after lunch. So sometimes, he falls asleep into his lunch...



around that time, we also started working in earnest towards self-feeding. We started with spoons...



J also was fully weaned from bottles by the end of October. Most of the time, he drinks from a sippy or a straw cup, but occasionally, he drinks from a cup proper!



We also taught Julian to open his mouth when prompted so that we could determine if he has swallowed his food before giving him more.



By the end of October, with Julian more successfully spoon feeding himself, we started teaching him to use forks.

Dude, eating by yourself is definitely overrated. I've been working on getting them to feed me again (don't let them know you can do it yourself).

Why-o,
