I know we’re supposed to teach her not to play with her food, but sometimes Mom needs a minute to fix lunch and regular toys are not enough when you’re a hungry baby. She continues to be a fairly adventurous eater. Green foods are still a bit of a challenge though. We found that the stereotypical airplane spoon flying into her mouth seems to work for a serving of broccoli or asparagus. Guess there’s a reason people do that.
We have already dropped a breastfeeding from the day I think. She never asks to nurse after first lunch, so yesterday she just had her cup of milk and snack and we let the nursing go. No complaints. We’ll see if we can continue that through the next couple of days and get her used to the idea. Extra benefit: she always falls asleep at the first lunch breastfeeding, even though it’s verboten. I always feel bad waking her up, but she really only does one nap a day. More than that and the nighttime is a bear. A short bear. So. Weaning going well.
Otherwise, Mags is the little energizer bunny that keeps us busy. She has started to walk on her knees more than crawl. I think she’ll appreciate walking on her feet more, but she wants an intermediate step, so knees it is. She is doing more of finger-walking (walking while holding on to someone’s hands), so she’s slowly getting the picture. Plus she’s around a lot of walking little people at Gym. Baby steps, as they say. Check out the video below to see her rocking the knee walk.

Hair seems to be curling more in the back; or is just my imagination?
She can definitely compete with Moose over Christmas for plastic bottle rattles; its one of his favorites.
I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, but aboriginal clicking is not part of the typical phonetic inventory of English-speaking children… : )
But seriously – thanks for posting a video – those are my favorites!
