The BaBa Goes Bye Bye. Almost.

To say that KK loves having a bottle would be an understatment. Some time ago I stated that she would be weaned by 18 months, and Daddy wasn't going to let me forget that! A few weeks ago she had gone for one whole day without one, and Daddy proclaimed them gone forever. But I was a little more compassionate, and still gave her one now and then. For the past week, though, the beloved "BaBa" has been history and I thought we made it! Until tonight. I went to a photography class, and when I got home at around 9:00, Daddy was sitting on the couch looking a little....defeated. He said, "It was a rough night." And then a little more quietly said, "I had to give her a BaBa." And I had to laugh, since he was the one adamant that the BaBa go away. It's always easy to know what to do and when to do it, especially when you're not always around to enjoy the consequences (especially of withholding The BaBa - not pretty). I guess some things just have to be learned the hard way. : ) We still have one day to go before the "deadline" passes. We'll see how it goes.

On the up-side of the food issues, KK is now eating grapes!! Sometimes she totally catches me off guard. I offer her fruits and veggies every day and most of them end up "talking to the hand." I couldn't believe it when she put half of a grape in her mouth and then started eating them like they were chocolate chips. And they were even a little sour! I'm thrilled! She also ate carrots and green beans at lunch today. It helps that she is learning to use a fork and spoon - these are great motivators for her. As are my silly shouts of "Woo Hoo!!!" and goofy dances after each bite she takes. Whatever works, right?!?! Right!
