Look ma, no hands!

Baikal is eating a cookie without using her hands. She is the master of creative food eating. Her latest obsession is dipping her cookie in milk. Sometimes she dips it, and it disappears from her hand into the bottomless abyss of her milk cup. Tomorrow is her 18 month check-up and I can't wait to see how much she weighs. Last check up the nurse told me to "put more butter on that girl's bread." She had dropped in weight to the 5%. So operation fat baby began. And abruptly ended when Baikal figured out she did not like anything spread on her toast. She is your average toddler food consumer, but I can't help to feel like a bad provider when she fills up on blueberries at snack time and pushes her dinner to the side.
