It's always thrilling when kids start feeding themselves, however, in my excitement that my hands no longer have to go 20 mph trying to keep up with filling 2 mouths every meal, i forgot how incredibly messy their independence can be. Even with the use of spoons, their food still goes everywhere. I think that makes them extra happy and in the end gives me extra work. Yay for and an even trade! :) At least they continue to be super cute.
Sophie is definitely the neater of the two. She's content with leaving whatever food remains in her bowl that she's unable to scoop while when Madeline has reached her spoon-feeding abilities, she pushes her whole face into the bowl and licks out whatever remains....
These pictures actually don't depict the extent of Madeline's messiness. When i went to grab the camera she smeared her face with her arm which rubbed off 1/2 of the goo all over her face! :)

What fun to feed yourself! I bet it must have been really funny to see them all messy! Hope the food was yummy! Still cute as ever, mess and all! =) Love you all very much! =)
aww, the girls look so sweet, despite having food all over their faces! :) happy times...!
Hilarious! Way to go Meagan for capturing these "messy moments." They will love you for it when they're 18!!! :) Sending my love, Auntie Joelle
