Baby's or toddler's spoon

This sterling silver baby spoon has a handle that curves back on itself completely, forming a loop. The word 'baby' is written on it in raised lettering. The bowl has the words "Hey diddle diddle" and a scene depicting the actions described in the Mother Goose rhyme: "Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle / The cow jumped over the moon / The little dog laughed to see such sport / And the dish ran away with the spoon."
