Hand me the bowl please daddy -- I can feed myself.

Arrived to find Willem in his room with mommy and Em and Ba and mommy was feeding him cream of mushroom soup.  Surprised to hear that he liked it.  Erin left shortly after I arrived and I began to feed Willem.  Not too long into the feeding Willem asked for the bowl so he could feed himself.  It was a pleasant thing to see and hear.

I did not get to see much of Willem today because of some administrative things that had to be taken care of but the few precious minutes were delightful: Got some cheek lovin' and got to see him walk, unassisted, to the elevators to play on the 11th floor.
