Holding your bottle and feeding yourself


I went to help your Dad out by taking care of you while he ran errands on my day off Friday, August 12.  You are about 4 and a half months old.  Your Dad mentions that you can hold your own bottle now.  When I go to feed you, I hold the bottle in front of you and you reach with one hand and then the other and you aim the nipple straight to your mouth.  WOW!  I am dumbfounded.  You have actually observed, and deduced what that object is for. 
Later your Mom and I make sweet potato for you.  It is your first time for that.  I believe you had carrot before.  When she goes to feed you you are not sure but you seemed to love the taste.  As she goes to put more in your mouth, you grab the spoon and put it directly in your mouth.  Your Mom has to wrestle it out from your hands.  Then again as she gets more and goes to your mouth, you grab the spoon and feed yourself.  So, all she does is load the spoon and hand to you.
