Self feeding?

Wilson is becoming more independent all the time. Lately he's been practicing standing on his own. He only lasts a few seconds and I have yet to capture a picture of it. But we do cheer and celebrate for every fraction of a second longer he makes it on his feet. 

He is also becoming more independent with food.  He has been munching on mum mums and puffs for a while.  In the last month we added Cheerios's to the mix. He LOVES those! However, we always seemed to hit a wall when  it came to veggies.   He would eat them up in the baby food form, but when I chopped them into Wilson sized pieces, he'd like maybe one or two chunks and then be finished with the idea of doing it himself.  

Somehow, this all changed in the last week. And last night, Mr. Wilson had a bowl full of chopped up steamed zucchini and yellow squash. He shoved it all into his own little mouth with his own chubby fingers. And he even practiced with the spoon some too.

I promise, that is zucchini and not a little boogie.

Oops, just a little too far! Uh oh!
