Letting go of the spoon

This morning I let go of the spoon. That's right... and I did it deliberately. Today my little boy is 10 months old. 9 months still sounded so little, but 10... that sounds so old. :) I don't mourn the passing away of another month, I enjoy watching all the new things he learns. This morning he wasn't content to be fed with the spoon, so I took a moment, and released the spoon. It was very messy, and he probably didn't get all of it, but he did it himself! Mommy would load up the Cinnamon apple oatmeal on the spoon and then he would intercept it. Sometimes upside-down it would eventually make its way into DS's mouth. Eventually I would decide it was time to pry it out of his fingers and fill it again. We were both quite messy, but it was a day for learning! Good job baby boy, and good job mommy... sometimes we forget that we are here to help them grow up!
