She fed herself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This morning I was feeding Maya lunch.  We were working with blueberries, pancakes, and barbecue beef.  I was giving her little pieces of beef, putting it in her mouth, and she would chew and swallow.  I decided to give her a little piece on the tray to play with (just like we do every other day), and she shocked me by picking it up and eating it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(By the way, if you just see a big white space with a "Play" button at the bottom, click the play button.  The video should start playing.  I don't know why that happens, but whatever!)

By the way, Parker reminds me of Clifford the big red dog who kept growing and growing and growing. Can we paint Parker red for Halloween?
