Spoon Feed vs. National Disaster

I still spoon feed Jayden. I can't even imagine the mess if I let him try on his own. Some other ladies I know with children his age let them explore. I think, I'll be like my sister. I'll feed him for as long as I can. I am adventurious from time to time. Yesterday, I sliced some bananas and put them on a plate and put him in his high chair with it and he ate it all by himself without making too much of a disaster. I was thrilled and encouraged.
