Very happy looking family, too. Love how different and yet similar your girls look.

Chris, that glamor shot of Bridget looks like a vintage 60s shot. There's nothing that gives the date away and the colors and light are straight 60s.

I take it Liam is the Mini-Chris. Handsome lads, beautiful daughters. 5 kids!

Conflict of interest: intense hunger vs. inexplicable spoon aversion

Choco, try giving her her own spoon to hold while you feed her. That's what I do with Eva (and all previous progeny) when they go through this stage.

Good idea, Ali. Thankfully this was a one time occurrence -- so far. She's usually a happy camper at mealtimes, but on this particular morning she had woken up in a bad mood and wasn't happy with anything. I took the video after about 10 minutes of "I'm HUNGRY! GET THAT SPOON OUT OF MY FACE!"

When they're getting more self sufficient, they can be a bit resentful of you feeding them. Eva is actually doing the same thing quite often, so she has her spoon, and when she is about to put the spoon in her mouth, I quickly put a loaded one in. It's just one of those little tricks I learned from someone once who seemed to have more knowledge than me. It's important to share the little tricks of the trade.

That would be an awesome book, I think the cellar parents could collaborate and write it.

BABIES
Tricks of the Trade

Let's do it!

(and by that I mean all you guys, not me-I'm just the idea man)

If you put on stockings and high heels we might let you take dictation for us.

Haven't actually needed it, yet. She's been eating voraciously the past few days, with no further spoon crisis.
