it's feeding time at the zoo

Aiden fed himself today! That was a big messy milestone for him :)

As we were feeding him his dinner tonight, he grabbed the little jar of food, hijacked the spoon handle from my hand and scooped up food from the bottom of the almost emptied jar and brought the heaped spoon straight to his mouth.

Of course, this elicited a couple of dropped jaws from his adoring parents who immediately cooed "Good Boy!"

And when Aiden repeated his performance a few times, our cooing shot up a few octaves. (Clearly, we think he is the cutest baby in the land. Scratch that. We *know* he's the cutest baby in the land.)
