Norah certainly prefers to feed herself these days, but along with food all over the floor I have discovered that she doesn't eat nearly as much food as when she gets fed by one of us. Part of the issue is that she gets sidetracked so easily right now that she eats a few bites and wants to move on. In addition to that she thinks it is fun to share her food with the dog, which I've already discovered.
My current solution is to only put 1-2 bites in front of her at a time. I often feed her half of a grilled cheese with green beans on the side along with a fruit sometimes. If I place it all in front of her at once she'll only eat about a third of it. If I put a few bites on her tray she'll end up eating most if not all of it.
I'm not really sure why this works for her but it does :) So it might be worth a try if you have the same issue!
