9 months old play with their food thats how they learn to eat! I wouldn`t always keep giving her more cause then it`ll be game... don`t make a huge issue of it or again she`ll do it for attention.. I know my son (10 months) likes to throw his bottle on the floor when hes in the high chair...I`ll get it a few times then i take it away if he keeps doing it,... i figure its a game at that point and he really doesn`t want it. I will say ` no dropping` if he does keep it up but not every time... I think if we use `no` to much at this age it looses its value!

I think every baby throws their food on the floor. I swear I`m forever vacuuming up Cheerios!

Well I`m not sure if she is too young for this but the little 18 month old I nannied for would spit all her found out. It was disgusting and not acceptable in my book. The parents didn`t care at all. So one day when we were out at lunch I told her `here are your chicken nuggets. You do not spit them out of your mouth. You have to eat them or they are going to go bye bye.` Well what do you think she did with her first bite? It all came out. So I took them away and put them on the other side of the table. A few minutes later, I asked her if she wanted them and I told her the exact same thing again. She did it again so I took it away again. The time after that she got it and NEVER did it again when I was there(her parents where another story)

  3. Thought they were fixing the problem with the profiles? Mine is now starting to disappear and most of my friends profiles are gone. Is it getting fixed or what because its more than a joke at the moment. Maybe its the ads causing the problems because its the only thing that seems to stay when the profiles disappear.

  5. Should I buy my sister a Belly Bandit for her shower? She said that is what she wanted when I asked. I just have a hard time spending that much money on some thing she might niot like. Especially because it was me who put the dumb :) idea in her head!! I bought and used one for three out of my four and loved it...but is it for everyone? Or should I throw down the money to something more practical?
  6. Are your children exposed to two hours or less of TV per day? (This includes when your shows are on and they are awake and around at the same time in the same room)

  8. Extension of last Valentine question..I should clarify that we are having V-day dinner tomorrow alone but still just the fact that he bought our gifts at the same time at the same place bugs the s-it out of me. He knows I like plants and I`m pretty sure he went to a nice nursey and got me one but the fact is he told me he got his mom a small little plant. OMG I fee like I total b-tch but I feel like telling him I know what he probably got me and I do not want anything that you are giving your mom!! But then he wopuld know I snooped and saw where he went on our checking account.
  9. O.k I know this is a off the wall question..Is it weird and selfish of me to be annoyed that my husband has is giving his mom a Vanetine gift and card tonight when she comes over and wants to give me mine too today? I know I`m probably being sensitive and I feel bad that I made the comment `if you give me the same thing as your mom I`m gonna cry`. He said I should`nt ruin the surprise and I told him I was sorry but I just wanted our Valentines seperate because everything includes his family and it`s a day for lovers. Am I....
