Who Needs Utensils

Ayla is 16 months old now and I thought it was time for her to feed herself using utensils and dinnerware, otherwise known as bowls and plates. She really has made great progress - not throwing the plate on the floor, eating off the fork, figuring out how to scoop stuff onto the spoon and so on. There are times when a fork or spoon is unnecessary. For instance, recently she was introduced to ketchup and instead of dipping the chicken nuggets into it she uses her fingers as dippers. She's pretty much got the concept down, however when it comes to yogurt she still finds that using her hands gets the job done much faster.
