Fiona this week...

I feel like in the last couple of weeks Fiona has started to really act like a person. For example, you can no longer say the word 'outside' in this house because she'll drop whatever she's doing and run for the back door, where she'll sit and whine until you take her outside. O.k., this may be something Brodie taught her, but the important point is that she understands the word 'outside' and is aware of what needs to happen for her to get there.

She LOVES to be outside. She plays on her little swing/slide set...


She hangs out with her friends...



And gets into various types of mischief...



Yes, our back garden is far from child-proofed!

But her most recent thing is that she likes to feed herself with a fork. She has a hard time spearing the food, so I help a little with that, and then she loves to dip whatever is on the fork in something (usually ketchup) and feed it to herself.

Well tonight she took it one step further and insisted on feeding herself yogurt. She did a surprisingly neat job considering that she refused to wear her bib and sometimes has been known to miss her mouth completely when attempting to feed herself. What a big girl! Here's the video... enjoy!

Hi Grandma! She does seem to favour her left hand, it's funny.
