Thanks to my failed attempt at a patriotic cheesecake on the 4th of July Sydney had her first true taste of blueberries. I had given them to her before but she didn't take to them like she does now! Joe gave her some from his cheesecake and she inhaled them! Afterward her little fingers were stained purple and so was her tongue! Luckily it came off of her face! Since then I've put the leftover blueberries on her waffles, which she loved, and just this morning mixed them in to her pancakes. She devoured her pancake and wanted another one!
I also tried something new today with her...I let her feed herself her yogurt. This was a huge step for me because I knew it would be messy and I try to avoid messes like this if at all possible. Once I just let go and let her try it, she did great! Yes she was messy but not as bad as I originally thought. Not to mention the fact that she was very proud of herself and another great part: I got things accomplished while she was eating! So here it is, play by play. :)
Scooping some yogurt up...
...just got to make it in my mouth....

Yay for feeding independence! Looks like Sydney did a nice job with her spoon. Kids surprise you everday, it seems.
