Loving These Moments

Yesterday's Moment Of The Day: hearing baby K sing to Michael W. Smith on the car ride home.

Today's Moment Of The Day: This is a tough one... I'm torn between watching baby K use chopsticks for the first time during dinner tonight (she can't even hold a pen properly but she was able to feed herself using two wooden sticks) and seeing her dance/sing along to the Newsboys. I don't think she's ever even heard the Newsboys... it was just randomly playing on my iPod mini and baby K goes rushing down the stairs once the song came on.

A true sign that my little girl is growing up: she no longer calls me "MA-EEEE." I've graduated to full-blown MOMMY these days (although M is still known as DA-EEEE). Baby K is also testing her limits more, as evidenced by the numerous tantrums she threw this past weekend. Funny enough, she always yells "MOMMY" when she's crying, regardless of whether or not I'm the one not giving her what she wants.

Another (quite drastic) change: baby K was not interested in eating meat this weekend. I am still trying to recover from the shock. Saturday night we had chicken and string beans for dinner. All she ate were string beans and some rice. Then today, we went to Pollo Tropical for lunch. After taking two bites of chicken from M, she refused to eat any more and stuffed herself with two sides of corn all by herself (we even had to order an extra side for her). For dinner tonight, we had pork dumplings and broccoli. She would not eat the pork and only had broccoli and a little bit of rice. I don't know what to think of this. Granted, string beans and broccoli are baby K's favorite vegetables, but she's always been such a carnivore (it's constantly a struggle to get her to eat vegetables) that this recent eating pattern has left me dumbfounded. Tomorrow night's dinner menu: chicken and brussel sprouts. Let's see if she keeps it up.
