Miss Independence

Audrey doesn't like me to feed her anymore since she figured out she can do it herself. I read an article about self feeding and it recommended letting your baby have bigger pieces and to let them bite off what they want and they are less likely to choke. I thought we would give it a try. She likes peaches if they aren't pureed. She ate a half of a peach by herself and some peas too. She is getting so big. I took lots of pictures to make up for my recent slacking. She was super cute.
Here is when she first started. She wasn't too sure about it yet.
She is getting better here.
And here she is really going to town. This cracked me up.
Loving her dinner time.
Audrey didn't want to go to sleep after bath tonight. I think it might have been because we came home to a broken AC and its 105 outside so it is HOT in here. She was in a good mood so I let her stay up and play. She JUST went to bed and its 9:30. Maybe I can sleep in tomorrow. =)
Here is her at 8:30. Usually she is in dreamland by then.
Video evidence. We had loads of fun tonight.

Oh and R.I.P. Michael Jackson. I am heartbroken. Audrey and I danced to Billie Jean and Thriller as a small tribute. Very sad.

She is really cute! I think that's a neat idea about letting them bite off what they want. I might give that a shot with Maggie!

great pictures. So with the whole feeding herself were you scared she would choke? My husband barely lets Grayson have puffs because he thinks G will choke. I want him to try different things - he loves to eat.

Ace has such a hard time with solid pieces so I tried the bigger chunks like you suggested--brilliant!!! She has made major strides in solids in just the past two days.

I'm definitely passing this on..."My friend Poppy said..."
