Well ... this just goes to show that we don't need to buy neat, fancy toys to please our daughter! She was in a 'I don't want toys ... give me attention' mood today when I needed to get some things done -- so I put her in her diaper box and she was SO HAPPY for like 45 minutes! It's pretty funny what keeps babies happy!
In the past I've been hesitant to let Jackobi just 'have at it' with her food. I guess I always get this image in my head (like you always see in the movies) of the baby throwing spaghetti all across the room. She holds her own bottle and eats little finger foods by herself, but until this week I've never let her feed herself baby food. I read somewhere that allowing your baby to feed themselves helps build their confidence and independence ... so I let her be a 'Big Girl' ... she LOVED IT!! And was actually pretty good! She knew just what to do! She missed a few times and hit her nose as you can tell in this picture. I made the mistake of laughing when she did it -- so then she decided she'd to it because it was funny. She caught on pretty quick!!On a side note, we learned that when Nate has the hiccups ... Jackobi laughs hysterically! It was so funny! I guess she was happy that finally someone else besides her had those darn hiccups!!
2 nice notes:
Your a much better mom then me! I was still feeding Isaac certain foods until a few months ago! Its good to let go early. I now have so much more free time while he eats and he eas better when he feeds himself. Imagine that.
That is to funny about the hiccups! Brody says we are getting Elisa Paper and Boxes for her Birthday and christmas because she likes those more!
