Baby Battles

'Kayla bug is the latest nickname.

I like to think I'm teaching her how to eat.

But really, she's teaching me how she's going to eat.

Subtle difference.

She sweetly smiles as I get a spoonful of baby food. She sweetly opens her mouth and takes it, then spits moving her head from side to side. Still smiling of course.

You would think she would cry when I give her baby food. She doesn't care, she's just not going to eat it. She wants our food. She had cereal this morning with me. I was worried a little about the milk, but oh well, she had ice cream yesterday and seemed fine:)

Ignore the blue, she's a girl.

Also, she literally gets insulted if I try to give her a bottle not a sippy cup. And she's not real interested in nursing during the day anymore. And when she does nurse it's almost like a battle. She continuously reaches for my face with her hand and once she finds my cheek, lip, nose etc she grabs and rips as hard as she can. I have scratches all over my face from her lethal grip. She tries to rip out all my hair if it's not in a ponytail too. I have to be ready to defend myself!

I think she's getting even more teeth.

Cody scored again this week! I wasn't able to go, Macey had a fever, but Ben got to go.

Yesterday Macey fell asleep with a fever on the living room chair. All at once she shot up and said, "Fantastic! I'll have one of those." Then laid back down.
We have the "Amazing Action Alphabet" cd that teaches sounds to letters. At the end of each letter they say a word that starts with the letter such as W-wonderful, F-fantastic. Macey asks what every one of them means and lately she has been using a variety of those words. At dinner tonight she said "This is amazing." It's fun/funny to hear her new knowledge in action.
