Evolution of Eating

Sofia has begun wanting to feed herself.  Usually I try to avoid that, but I must have needed two free hands this particular evening.  Here she is hard at work:

First of all she decides that one fork is not enough, she must use my giant one in addition to hers.  So she gets a hold of both of them.  

It takes her an attempt or two before she realizes that she needs food on her forks in order to eat it.  So, she solves that problem by picking up a pea and placing it on her fork

Then, it's victory at last!!

What a mess she made, but she sure enjoyed the independence.
