At 13 months, Lottie hasn't reached Babybear's venerable age, and, much as she asks for a fork (asks as in 'uh! uh! uh!' with lunging), I wouldn't let her anywhere near one yet. But she is keen on feeding herself yogurt, spoon in one hand, pot in the other, and soup if it's something she really likes. Otherwise it's mainly fingers. I think her motivation for self-feeding yogurt, which she's pretty good at now, mainly comes from having two big brothers - a bit like Babybear with the ice cream, I can see her brain ticking over - here's something I really like. Here's a spoon. There are my brothers eating the same thing with their spoons... Right - to work.
