Little Miss Independent!

Eating breakfast :D We were still trying to not put anything on the credit card, so it was a meager meal of bread (whole-wheat, of course) and honey and milk for Lily, and peanuts for Jack.
The pic came out blurry but you can still see her grin!
And I can't take a picture of just Lily without taking a picture of just Jack. Oh dear, what will I do when I have 15 kids?!

Lily has a chair to sit in at the table!

We had a little strap-to-existing-chair seat back in Texas. It broke, we glued it back together, but it kept on breaking. I refused to pay to have something broken shipped across country, so we came here with no chair for Lily. And having carpet under the table made me hesitant to let her have a place at the table in the first place :( She's been asking for spoons and for cups and for food, so I finally got tired of letting my fear of messes get in the way of my daughter's development. I stacked some old college textbooks (calculus, organic chemistry, and anatomy!), put a towel on them to protect them from dropped food, put her on it and scooted it up to the table. She loves it! Now she will settle for nothing less, of course :D
The best was when I gave her a spoon and a bowl full of yogurt and cereal. She was so excited! She wanted to keep playing and exploring it even after her belly was full, but I put a stop to that. She was pretty angry at me... so I laid down and nursed her until she fell asleep. Gotta love being a Mommy :D
