Little Bug Speaks

And oh does she speak!

More and more everyday! Here is the latest:

Little Bug was eating her breakfast. I had finished mine so I was at the sink washing dishes. I asked Little Bug, “Are you all done?” She answered, “No, two more bites!” Sure enough, she had 2 more bites of waffle left on her plate!

Then…

That same day we were at my mom’s for lunch. My mom was feeding Little Bug and asked her, “Little Bug, are you all done?” And Little Bug said, “No, four more bites!” Wouldn’t you know, she had four pieces of cantaloupe left on her plate!

Little Bug has reached a new height in messiness when eating. We’ve started trying to get her to eat with a fork or spoon and it just makes a grand mess.

She was eating lunch and she apparently accidentally bit her thumb when she was putting in a bite. She started to whine about it so I gave her some sympathy and asked her, “Awww. Did you bite your thumb?” She looked up at me with her big, blue eyes, held out her thumb which was covered in food from eating and said, “Kiss thumb!” Needless to say I couldn’t resist and gave her messy little thumb a (quick) kiss!

*****

My mom kept the blocks that my brother and I used to play with for her grandchildren to one day play with. The box is tattered and torn from many years of use! Little Bug got the box of blocks out to play and dumped the blocks onto the floor. Then she held up the box and proclaimed, “Yuck, Yuck, trash!” She thought the box had seen better days (and it has) and needed to go into the garbage!

*****

I ran into the grocery store while Dave and Amanda (Dave’s sister) stayed in the car with Little Bug. Dave and Amanda were talking when they suddenly heard Little Bug just laughing away in the backseat in her car seat. Then she said, “Funny Mommy!” and started another fit of laughter! I guess she was thinking about something that I had said or done that was funny to her!

Little Bug is incredibly curious about everything. People tell me all the time how alert she is.

This has become a problem at meal time.

So much so that I have had to take some drastic measures to make sure there will be no interruptions while she drinks her bottle.

Pup is her biggest distraction while eating!

Pup loves to sit at the back door and bark her head off at squirrels that run along the back fence.

If Pup barks while Little Bug is drinking her bottle, she stops eating and has to look at the action. Even if she couldn’t wait to get the bottle in her mouth when she first saw it coming, she has to stop and see what is going on.

Sometimes, she would even decide she was done with eating and just wanted to put her focus on the distractions.

Little Bug cannot afford to miss ounces of formula! She was only 15.5 pounds at 8 months old!

So, I now close the curtains to the sliding glass door that Pup looks out of and lean the gate on the curtains so Pup can’t go behind the curtains to still look out.

That works to keep Pup from barking and Little Bug’s mind on eating instead of the world around her.

I love that Little Bug is so curious. She’s been like this since she became aware of her surroundings.

It’s a wonderful thing, I know. Just not at eating times! :)
