Fiona is a pig (in the best possible way)

Fiona loves to eat food....ALL THE TIME!! She gets vitamins in her juice with a sliver of toast while we change her diaper. For breakfast she eats 1/2 an egg with cheese, a piece of toast, 3/4-1 cup of fruit, a smoothie with 4 oz of yogurt, prunes, and some fruit puree (along with probiotics). At home she gets to snack on raisins, puffs, cheddar bunnies, cherrios. For lunch she eats whatever daycare gives her or a FULL plate of food. She drinks a cup of milk before nap. After nap she eats a Kashi bar and some fruit or some more raisins, bunnies, cheerios, puffs. For dinner she eats another FULL plate of food followed by another full cup of milk before bed.

Yesterday Emily was preparing dinner and Fiona reached over and helped herself to a tomato. She liked it so much that she took a second one. This morning she wanted more while Emily was making her lunch. She is funny when she eats the tomatoes. When the tomato pops, Fiona gets seeds everywhere. Fiona also ate some red bell pepper and lettuce. She liked the red bell pepper but was NOT a fan of the lettuce.

Fiona is not very good at laundry

As you can see by the pile on the outside of the basket, laundry for Fiona is best celebrated by sitting in the basket and throwing things out of the basket. Fiona got mad when Emily tried to remove her from the basket so pictures were taken instead.



Fiona may not be very effective at laundry but she is very good at grocery shopping and unloading. While at the grocery yesterday, Fiona recognized the box of nilla wafers (cookies) and graham crackers. She expressed her recognition by grunting and pointing until the box was opened and a cracker was provided. She munched on the cracker for the rest of the grocery trip and thoroughly enjoyed herself. Upon returning home, Fiona used her laundry skills to help unload the groceries (which was actually helpful this time).

Over the weekend Fiona also went to the library and played with some of the other kids at the library. Mostly Fiona wanted to throw books from the alligator bookshelf but she did chase a little girl for a few minutes (and was very tickled with herself).

Fiona no longer wants to be fed yogurt or oatmeal so we have started making smoothies with her yogurt, some fruit, and prunes. Gotta keep the fiber going.
