Self Feeding

Amelia looks cute in what we've decided is her pseudo Catholic school girl outfit. Didn't realize it until after she was dressed in it, but we both wound up thinking the same thing.

Apparently Amelia has decided that if she can't feed it to herself, she's just not interested. This came on rather suddenly and has taken Mommy by surprise. So we're trying to adjust and make sure she gets enough calories. She seems to really like table food so that helps. She had some burrito with melted cheese, some chicken, and some rice (made with salsa and melted cheese) which she really liked. Fortunately the cheese made the rice stick together in clumps so she could pick some up and shove it by the palm-ful in her mouth. Yes, it looks as lady-like as it sounds! She also had some home-made tiramasu leftover from a dinner party we had Thursday night with Livia and her parents. Livia's Daddy made it and Amelia thinks it is very yummy.

We took our tree down today. Amelia doesn't seem to miss it. We're enjoying have a little extra room and watching Amelia play with her toys. It's interesting how some are just her plain favorites! And she really does enjoy her books - she'll plop down and look through one for several minutes before moving onto one of her new or old noise-making toys.
