Big O's eating O's

This is blogworthy material folks... because it is very exciting when they can eat cheerios. That means you can finally throw cheerios at them to keep them happy. Cheerios are perfect because they're healthy, not very messy, and they take some effort to pick them up and eat - that means TIME for mom. That means I can post this blog while he's eating cheerios. We're both happy. (I should do a commercial for Cheerios...) I think every mom looks forward to the day when they can eat O's.

The funny thing is that I wasn't sure if he was ready for them or not, but Jared dumped out the whole box of Cheerios on the floor, and we keep finding them everywhere. Or I should say Owen keeps finding them everywhere. I watched him pick one up and eat it - he did fine. Bring on the cheerios!

this is a great milestone by the way, love the bit of independance it gives them (and the extra time it give mom too)!

I love cheerios time! I love it when I get a moment to catch my breath and the kiddies are occupied, not screaming! ;)

Wait, Owen feeds himself? I can count on one hand the number of times Kiera has fed herself anything (other than lint or carpet fuzz, that is.) I tried to give her cheerios yesterday and she promptly picked up each one and threw it to the floor. The only one she ate is the one I put in her mouth. *sigh*

I think by the 3rd kid, they learn quickly that if they want something, they have to do it themselves...
