spoons and applesauce

For about the past 2 months, I will put some food on Seth's spoon and he can put the spoon in his mouth. Well yesterday, I put a cup of applesauce in front of him and he scooped it out all by himself and put it in his mouth. He also tried to do it with the other foods on his plate, but after failing a few times, he just picked the food up with his fingers and tried to put it on his spoon.
