My messy little man.

The last few months have been filled with independence for Harrison. He loves doing things himself. He is such a little man these days. Part of this independence is feeding himself. For me it has been hard because I hate messes (or I hate cleaning them up), but I have had to forget about the mess and let the man do his thing. It's been a few months since he will even attempt to let us help him. If we spoon feed him, he just pulls the food out of his mouth, and smooshes it onto the highchair tray, the scrapes it back up and eats it again. It's just gross. He now has a bath after most meals, as it's easier than wiping him down.

This photo was taken the night before his 1st birthday. I love it.
