Food Fight

I can do it myself!

No, no you can't.

One of my favorite activities of the day, feeding Calvin, has turned into a battle of wills.   Calvin wants the spoon!  If he sees the spoon - and how do you feed him without him seeing it - he grabs for it, screams and doesn't stop until he wins.

The only thing that will keep this argument from happening is to feed him finger foods: bananas, sweet potatoes, eggs, puffs.  He is perfectly happy as long as he is feeding himself, but that isn't always possible and I only have a small repertoire of appropriate foods, as you can see from the list above.

My question for you is how do I feed a baby who is intent on rushing into toddlerhood without fighting over utensils?
