I registered for and received two Squirt Spoons by Boon. Yesterday I tried it out for the first time and Arabella seemed to enjoy it. I was able to deliver her food at a faster rate. Tonight, unfortunately, faster didn't seem to be fast enough. Every time I'd pull the spoon out of her mouth to refill the spoon she'd throw a huge fit and start crying. So I suppose faster isn't always better. But I was able to focus on her instead of scrapping a cup of food with a spoon to feed her. It also kept her from trying to grab the food or the spoon from my hand. I found it to be a much more enjoyable experience for the most part.
After she had her carrots and sweet taters we tried to use the spoon for Rice cereal. I think I got it a little thick. When I squeezed the bulb to dispense the food it would get sucked back in like tooth paste. So if we try cereal in it again I'll have to remember to make it a little bit runnier. She still guzzled down all her food like a good little girl should.
In other Bella news, my little 18 pound 8 oz baby girl grew tall enough to be flat footed in her bouncer. So I had to raise it to the final level. Unfortunately that means she won't be able to use it much longer. But the level is about two inches too tall for her now so we've had to place a pillow underneath it to give her a footing. She grows like a weed every day. Before we know it she'll be walking and back talking.
What a neat spoon!
