Wise Man Say: Baby Who Feed you Food, Usually Have Soggy Fingers

I saw a fortune the other day that said, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you; the food tastes much better." No joke. Chalk that up to coolest fortune ever! ...which is the source of inspiration for this title, that and the fact that LiLi has started sharing with people. The first time was yesterday. She picked up a gob of blue jello, and pinching it between her two chubby fingers she offered it to me with a wide smile. Surprised, I went to take it from her, she tried to snatch it away at the last second, but I was too quick for her. I've got skills. Today she offered me a Cheerio, and this time she didn't try and take it away. She gave me three. Grinning each time I ate it from her hand. This has lead me to learn a very important lesson. I'd like to say it's about sharing, but it's not. It's this: when a baby offers you food, more likely than not, they'll do it with soggy fingers. I'll let you draw your own conclusions as to what that means.
But seriously, I'm really happy that LiLi is learning to share. I think Don Herold says it best:


"Babies are such a nice way to start people."

Here she is offering me a chunk of cheese:



Cheezes for me?!?


Obviously I was too slow. But it's the thought that counts.

  3. That little siren is a tricksy one. She once pretended to share with me too, then she was like, "Ohhh, psych! Sucka'" Yeah that is what she's thinking in her little piggly-wiggly tailed mind. ;) Good thing she's so dern cute.
