Megan and I were running an errand to the library. On the way there Megan got fussy and stared crying off/on. I said to her "mommy will give you a snack when we get to the library". She instantly stopped fussing and played for the remaining 10 minute ride.
Megan has never eaten a snack before - she doesn't quite have the concept of eating/drinking when it is not meal time.
When we got to the library I got in the backseat with her and offered her the sippy cup. She shook her head no and made the sign for food/eat. So I gave her some cereal which she chowed down on. After a few pieces I offered her the cup again, same response -- no and food sign. How very smart of her.
When we got home I gave her snack time. She ate cereal and a teething biscuit - which she went after voraciously. She took the cereal from me but didn't eat it, just dropped it.
For dinner Megan took a piece of squash from me and managed to get part of it into her mouth (about half of it stayed in her hand). This is the first time she has held anything other than a piece of cereal; the first time she didn't just drop what she was holding; and the first time she fed herself anything. Yippee!
