The Cheerio Game

Harper came up with a new game yesterday. You know how babies like to give things to people...or at least pretend like they're gonna give you something and then take it back? She would give me a cheerio, so I held out my hand. When she put it in my hand I closed my hand so that she couldn't see it. She then tried to open my hand, found the cheerio, took it back, and ate it. That's how it all started. Now when she's eating cheerio-like snacks, she places it in my palm, then she pushes my hand closed, immediately pulls it open, grabs the cheerio and eats it. The same thing with the next one and then the next one. I've always thought babies were cute, but I never knew just how cute they really are. Seeing Harper do something new every day is greater than I could have ever imagined. If someone had told me this story of their kid before I had kids, I think I would have found it cute. But these days, something as simple as a cheerio game makes my entire day!
