As part of Maryam's weaning process, I introduced her a new tool to play with today: a spoon!
When I handed her the spoon the first time I was thinking that she would instantaneously bring it to her mouth as she would with the other stuff she managed to grab. However to my surprise she actually held it up to her head, kind of using it as a scratcher or a comb.. err.
My purpose of doing this is to familiarise herself with the idea of eating with a spoon, in fact the idea of feeding herself actually- though she might often miss her target at the outset and create a mess with that!
