I love animals

This weekend we took Aoife to the pet store to look at the animals. When I take her for walks in her stroller, she likes to look up at the telephone wires at the birds. She can also follow birds flying in the air. Every time we see a dog, she flaps her arms and legs and starts to squeal. She liked watching the birds in their cages and we even got the chance to speak with a parrot. See the picture above where she is flapping her arms like the birds!


I am now allowing Aoife to feed herself more and more. It's very messy, but she is so good at using her pincher finger. I read that it is important to allow infants the time to feed themselves so that they can explore the food first hand and get used to feeding themselves for further independence.
