Eating food is fun to do, fun to do

I have yet to capture on the blog Matthias' incredible eating skills. We have mentioned his ability to feed himself...even complicated foods like yogurt and baby food...and have received incredulous looks and exclamations. So I post the following, the first being taken this morning, but the second recorded over two months ago before Matthias had turned one:



The second refusing to give me it's embed code...sorry!

EDIT:
Ah, hah! It works...


Now please note that James was not feeding himself this well until at least age two. I cite three reasons for this,

1) As I only had one child there was no need for James to make a big mess to learn how to feed himself because I was perfectly capable of feeding him without a mess.

2) Matthias sees James feeding himself and wants to copy.

3) (and most importantly) Matthias' number one love is food. He always wants to eat, no matter what. Nothing is more interesting or more important. This kid would eat continuously all day long if we let him.

Lately he has decided he will not eat however, if we try to feed him. He knocks the spoon/fork away and refuses to eat. Until you hand over the eating utensil and then he will happily feed himself.

Enjoy my amazing self-feeding baby!
