OK, the pediatrician said to wait until he was 5.5 - 6 months old but he was so fascinated when we were eating that we deicded to let him have a go at it. He had a little bit if rice cereal - really watered down - and got the idea after a few bites. He's naturally tidy (see picture of him wiping his face) so it was hard to get the "expected" messy baby picture. Of course, I managed... Now we just have to get him to take a bottle because he had so much fun with the spoon!
