{inspiration: fingerpuffs}

August 9, 2011
(3 days before Mae turns 8 months)

Mae learned how to put food in her mouth.

her little fingers (cutely) grip the food from my hand

and slowly tried to stick it in her mouth.

sometimes she failed and her puffs
never reach her mouth.

some other times she got it to her mouth

by forcing all her fingers inside.

so cute to watch! today she did much better.

she picked the puffs right from my hand

and put it straight into her mouth.

what a neat experience to notice 

such small changes/improvement in her-

yet that small glimpse of progression 
means so much to her.

pickin' it up.
you can do it Mae!
ahh, so many to choose from... 
(daddy eating BLT in the bg)

got caught eating with her hands.

traditional Thai style-

(except she's eating puffs, not sticky rice)

got forced to take a pic w/ mommy.
help daddy! 

tomorrow Mae turns 8 months.
she learned how to talk in baby language.
i don't quite understand what she is saying "ALL THE TIME"
sometimes it sounded like she's yelling at me.
other times it sounded like she's yelling at me. again.
she's growing so much...
cuter & smarter each day.
i love this grl so much.
