growing up!

We decided to get rid of the high chairs. They were very annoying...taking up a lot of space, frustrating to keep clean(!), and hard to keep the girls away from (both would fight over who would get to push which one around the kitchen). It was sort of a relief to get them out of here but at the same time it seems like we just put them up! Instead of the high chairs, we're using their portable booster chairs hooked onto our counter stools.
I don't want the girls to grow up too fast, but I'm really glad that they are getting to be more independent eaters. Little Bird is very good at eating with a fork or spoon. She can eat all of her mac and cheese with her fork (she just stabs away at it!). She also eats a whole bowl of apple sauce with her spoon without spilling any of it. It's so nice that they don't care about tipping plates and bowls over (well, they still might, but they don't do it as often). Little Pie isn't as patient when it comes to eating with utensils. She needs a little more guidance and when she gets frustrated she just reverts back to eating with her hands. She also knows that she is faster with her hands and Little Pie likes to eat fast!! It's so fun to have them eat like big girls!!
