It made me a little sad today when I heard Lily say she had the hiccups. She has always said "hippups." Just a small, adorable part of her toddler self growing up!
Ryan, Lily and I sat down to eat dinner tonight while Mia played in the den. She quickly realized we were all in the other room, so she came in and started getting fussy, so we put her in her seat and put some Cheerios on her tray; she likes to be near us. She kept fussing so we assumed it was because she is still not very good at picking up food and putting it in her mouth, so Ryan gave her a few; that didn't make her happy either. We were really a little baffled because usually Cheerios or Puffs makes her pretty happy. Finally I was holding her and realized she was just staring at my bowl of spaghetti. I cut a little piece of the noodle and gave it to her; she immediately stopped crying. I kept giving her little bites of the noodles and some of the tomato meat sauce, and she really seemed to enjoy it. She would finish a bite, look up at me with those big blue eyes and open her mouth up for more; you just can't say no to that! We are also working on sign language with her, and a couple of times she attempted the sign for "more" which is great. I remember it was about 10 months when Lily really started wanting table food, and at the 11 month mark she started to shun baby food altogether. Since Mia hit 10 months on Friday (can you believe that?!), I guess maybe she is following a similar path.
I just can't tell you how much I love my girls. They keep me on my toes, but I couldn't ask for two better kids!
