becoming a big girl

lauren thought she'd try something a little daring tonight and use a spoon to eat her dinner. she did a great job and was quite proud of herself. (i think it also helped that she had two very enthusiastic "cheerleaders" clapping at every bite). i will take you step by step through this very exciting and somewhat tense process.

she starts her approach with a good, angled grip on the spoon.

do i really want to eat these peas, she thinks, pausing for a moment. oh, what the heck, it always makes my mom and dad clap and cheer. so here goes....

she then puts the spoon in her mouth with the greatest of ease. remarkable! since she was on a roll, she decided to follow her dinner "act" with a proper demonstration on how to blow one's nose. again we were rather impressed.

our sweet little baby is growing up! (and yes, joel and i could use a little more entertainment in our lives)!
