Click, and the lightbulb illuminates!

This weekend we started using our booster chair and let Halleigh sit up at the table with us. She has really enjoyed sitting at the table and we have liked it too. She has been much more interested in eating like we eat, the same things (which is great!) and the same way (which has been VERY messy).

But, we had a light bulb moment today! Halleigh was eating breakfast and started refusing her apple sauce, only when I handed her the spoon and bowl did she continue to eat. She fed herself the whole container of applesauce without dripping any of it anywhere. I ran and got a bib so the mess would be contained, but it was totally unnecessary. She got a little on her face, but not a drop on herself or the table. She was concentrating so hard on the task at hand she jumped when the flash of the camera went off; she had no idea I was taking pictures of her. She did GREAT!

What a cutie!

And in response to our conversation on your last post... I would LOVE to start canning! I wanted to start this summer but we moved too late in the summer for me to plant anything this year. Don't know if you read on my blog, but I'm milling my own wheat now. It is awesome! It's a little time consuming (the bread making, not the milling) right now, but I'm hoping that will change as I work out all the kinks. The health benefits alone are awesome! So we can just tell everyone who makes fun of us apron-wearin', gardenin', cannin', wheat-grindin' mamas to smooch our fannies! I think domesticity is awesome... and dang important. Go us!

P.S. I wish we were real life friends instead of just cyber friends. I think we would get along great!
