Little Miss Independent

I think Kateri is trying to tell me that she is no longer a baby. She has eschewed her safe, but boring, high chair in favor of the bench at our kitchen table, where she has a much better chance of falling and cracking her head on the tile. She will only eat food that can be chomped and crunched and possibly choked on: mushy food is for babies!! (Not that she ever ate mushy food, but she has been very eager to try out her recently completed set of molars and eyeteeth on any choking hazard within reach.) Furthermore, she has completely shunned any form of sippy cup in favor of regular, big kid cups and water bottles. She loves taking off and putting on the cap.
Taking a swig whilst staring defiantly at me...


So proud of herself. Please ignore the water she dribbled all down the front of her shirt. After all, she is a big kid now... at least for the next five minutes until she decides it is time for her umpteenth nursing of the day.

In my experience, girls are the ones who are determined and don't want help-at a very young age! She's spilling now, but atleast she won't be whining for you to tie her shoes when she's 10!!
