VI:

Lily is determined to feed herself. During breakfast the minute I sit her down she starts screaming because I haven't handed her the spoon. She'll let me guide her but she just has to hold the utensils. It's rather cute. She's very determined. It's all her doing, she wants to be a big girl. I got her a bowl that suction cups to the table, but she figured out how to undo it. For the most part she leave it alone until it's nearly empty. We got her new cups without handles so she can learn how to hold a regular cup and she actually prefers that over her handled sippy-cups. She's so funny; just so damned determined to grow up.
