I bought Haley some new barrettes at the store the other day. She rides sitting up in the cart now and her eyes LIT up when she saw them. It’s so crazy to watch a little girl who is just riding along, enjoying life, and then she is screaming because she can’t hold the barrette pack. Toy cars? No. Bananas? No. GIVE ME THE BARRETTES. How does she know?
I was explaining to Jim why she needed barrettes, not just hair bows, and he understood perfectly. “They’re her everyday, around the house barrettes,” he said. I love that man. Now she wears something in her hair almost every day. It is great fun!
Haley is also super interested in food. Watch out – she will grab anything that comes her way. Today she grabbed onto a casserole dish from the oven and gave me a heart attack. Fortunately, it had cooled off and she wasn’t hurt.
She is working on using her baby feeder for bananas and avocado but really prefers an apple slice without her feeder. Once her teeth come through she won’t be able to do that, but for now she just gums the slice and it works just fine.
She also conquered getting a Cheerio (organic sugar free toasted Os, but no one calls them that)into her mouth all by herself. It was very exciting!
