Sat on my knee whilst I ate porridge with DS (it's porridge with milk, apple juice, water, and a touch of cinnamon... so healthy!) she grabbed my spoon and before I could say 'bl**dy hell' she gobbled a huuuge spoonful!!

What to do what to dooo?

I think you should congratulate her on her co-ordination skills.

So far Evie has :

grabbed my hand while I was eating an aero and sloppered her chops around it

leant forward while sitting on my knee and tried to put her face on my chocolate muffin

pulled with both hands at the hand I was holding my lemondae in and tried to pull the glass towards her mouth, with her mouth wide open and her tongue out!

Greedy beggar!!

I started at the beginning of the month but have been really lax about it, as in she probably gets a taste of something twice a week! She's had fruit and veg, but I'm not a "oh, it's 12:00, here's your food" its more "hmmm, fancy some food today" type!
I guess I should do it seriously, seeing as she's starting to steal mine!!
