Baby's snack

I always heard that babies like to explore and get to know their surroundings. In a way, they are supposed to go through all the drawers and cabinets, the piles of folded laundry, the food we (her parents) are eating, and have the freedom to pull things out, throw things around, and push things off tables (like our dinner). That's how the little monsters learn about boundaries and what is OK to do and what isn't. Plus, they get to see how everything tastes. Well, add eating cat food to the list of exploratory things. It's hard for me to say exactly how many times Elizabeth has "tried" cat food, since I'm at work during the day, but she seems to gravitate more and more to the two little bowls set out for the cats. The kibbles can't taste that good even though the bag says it's chicken or fish flavored. I should know...I tried one out of curiosity. It smells too. Maybe this is her way of saying she's hungry or that she wants to eat something else. Who knows. I'm not a baby whisperer. Sometimes I wish I were. -T
