Here is a video of Natalie eating with a spoon. For lunch, I made her some whole-grain white rice mixed with garden vegetables baby food. When she really likes something she says "mmm..." She also says "rice" very well.
Now that Natalie started to use a spoon/fork to eat with her meals, she will not let Mommy or Daddy feed her anymore. She turns her head away, and says "no." She wants to do it herself. Now and then, when she is struggling to get food on her utensil, she will let us help her. Natalie's independence is starting to show...
