Check out the mess highlighted below. Notice the hair, the freshly cleaned high chair and that tray. Our general routine at this point is to start with two spoons. I get food on one and head toward her mouth she grabs on as soon as the spoon is within range and I help her guide it into her mouth. She will hold that spoon for dear life until I load and position the next one. At that point she drops the first one or she is distracted enough by the new spoon full of yumminess that I am able to coax it out of her kung foo grip. This is then repeated until all the food is gone. In order to get the spoon from the last bite I call in reinforcement finger foods. I strategically drop cheerios or puffs in the least messy place while I wipe her face hands and tray. She gets annoyed, but is then distracted by the second barrage of cheerios/puffs. I still usually end up with a shirt that should be changed(if I'm not going somewhere I usually just wear the food all day-sad, I know). After all that I try to eat some of my own food. Maybe I should come up with a better system.

Lily is so cute!!! Gracie is in love with her spoon. Meal time is a challenge.
I like your highchair!
How cute is that! Messy, but cute. She looks just like Ryan in that last picture.
