Can't Quite Shove It

One of Katie's most advance skills at her age is chatting or more like copy-cat.  Hence, we’ve been very careful with what we say around her cus she’ll pick it up instantly, especially the bad words.

Pixs from this past weekend in SF.

In the less advance category is her self feeding skill. She can’t really hold the spoon upright but when and if she gets food on it, she knows exactly where to put it, in her mouth. Forks are easier except she sometimes have difficulty poking the food hard enough so it stays and not all foods are pok-able. So the mess continues at every meal.

She also takes every opportunity to play with her food first before she’s interested in putting it where it matters, her tummy. Oh and this little lady doesn’t like to sit still for long periods of time so unless she’s interested in eating and is hungry, she can be very challenging to deal with at meal time. It’s fine when we’re home with the ‘struggle proof’ high chair but not very appetizing for us to be out dining when this monster morphs.  At the least, she doesn't throw her food back at us, not yet anyway :o/ 

Foods that she have no problem eating on her own are also Daddy’s favorites…FINGER FOODS particularly drumsticks and chicken wings. Not very lady like but any way she can get food in her tummy is human like.

We’re hoping the feeding practices makes perfect someday. We suppose patience is once again the key to success.

Relaxing on the Muni

Enjoying the Chinese New Year parade from the best view in the house or streets of downtown SF rather; no, Daddy doesn't need to see the pretty ladies waving at him.
