and i don't mean the 4th of july

kenna wants to do everything herself and have everything like we do. she will NOT eat food off her highchair tray. she demands a plate, spoon and a fork or she wont' eat. she can't get food on a spoon or a fork yet (unless it's something soft yet firm that stays on the fork when her clumsy little one year old hands stab at it

) but still, she doesn't care, she wants one because we have one. she also will not let me break up her food. we had grilled turkey and swiss sandwiches for lunch and she threw all her bits i broke off on the floor and screamed while holding her hand out towards my big sandwich. i cut it in half and gave it to her and she sat there like a 2 year old and took bites while holding it herself

irritating yet insanely adorable at the same time
