So....for the past week, .oni has been off
of the bottle completely. ANd drinking
from regular cups, as well as her sippy
cups.
But, now, she doesn't want me to spoon
feed her her foods. At all.
She wants to do it *herself*.
Now, I let her do her thang, but I'm
wondering, is she getting enough?
She puts the spoon from the bowl, to her
mouth. But eventually uses her hands. She
crams loads of food in her mouth, but I
just don't know *exactly* how much she's
getting.
After she eats she'll drink her milk. ANd
want to get down. SO I should have no
worries....right?
::sigh:: I don't like this whole "growing
up" thing.
Ok, off to the .w.i.c office we gooooo!

Sounds like she is getting plenty!! What a
big girl. I think it's great that you
keep the spoon there, so she associates it
with eating.

it's great sometimes when .baron tries to
get her to lay on him and she won't.
As soon as she gets in my arms, she
literally passes out.
At that moment, I know that she's still my
wittle baba! I'm so sappy. My rag should
come either today or tonorrow, or the next
day.

a min ago she was playing with ehr
stroller (that was folded up) and it
tipped forward on her.
SO I went to lift it up (fiercly because I
Had the impression that it made her fall
backwards and smack her head on the
ground!)!
Well when I lifted it, her entire body
came up with it!!!!
Her head was stuck between the tray and
where she sits. I guess she was trying to
climb in it and got stuck!!!
So I pulled that red lever that allows the
tray to open up and she came out!!!
All of this happened within 5
seconds, literally.
SHe's napping now and I'm doin hella
laundry!

at the baby eating
stroller
Sarah, I dunno if you do already or not,
but if she's getting into feeding herself
have you tried more "finger food" type
stuff rather than soft spoony stuff?

Well it's her large stroller that has like
a tray and a cup holder for the babas to
snack on, or pull up on to get a better
view.
She wasn't sitting in it, it was folded up
and I guess she *wanted* to sit it in. But
her head is massive (like her mommy's) and
she got stuck!
yea, she gets peas, beets, carrots, eggs,
beans, rasberries, grapes, fruity
cheerios, toast, bagels, etc.
Anything she can eat, I'll give her.
I just feel like she *needs* some cereal.
Ya know? Cuz veggies burn off faster than
her cereal. ANd I don't wanna load her up
with starches(enriched of course, whole
wheat I don't mind).
And she still gets 6 oz of milk about 4
times a day. And she sucks down at least 2
cup fulls or more of water in a day.
at her feeding
herself! What a big girl!
