I can do it all by myself!

Over the Christmas vacation, Jackson decided that he is a big boy and does not need to be fed by anyone because he can do it all by himself. If you try to feed him, he will either not open his mouth or spit the food out, but if you give him the spoon/fork and put the bowl or plate in front of him he gets really excited. The problem is, he is not very accurate yet! It takes him forever to get the food on the fork or spoon and then into his mouth without dropping it on the floor. When he gets frustrated with that, he just picks up the bowl or plate and eats right out of it! So pretty much most of his food ends up on the outside of his body instead of in his body. Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

yummy yogurt and peaches!
Good thing he loves to take lots of baths!
