Gab has decided that she likes to feed herself dinner and there's no way in the world she will let us feed her. She crrracks it. So, we have 2 spoons on the go and we put the food on for her. If I leave the bowl for her to do it herself, she plays with the food and barely eats anything. I'd rather get some tucker into her (because she will eat it all).
She has had a go at getting the food on her spoon herself but it's been with relatively non-sloppy food, iykwim? And it's also been when I'm in the mood to clean up a hek of a lot of mess.... doesn't happen often, LOL.

I reckon Jacob will be ok. You're on the right track. He'll probably just start doing it properly one day. They're notorious for that!! LOL Little skamps!
