So the three of us went out to eat at Old Chicago's last night. They have this deal going right now where you can get a salad and dessert for almost the same as just the meal. Soooo... Josh ordered the cheesecake.
By the time we were done with our meal, Hazel was getting very restless (it was already past her bedtime by then). He held her in his lap while he ate his cheesecake. Of course, we couldn't resist seeing if she liked the desserts we had so we each gave her a bite of our sweets. (I had ice cream which she tolerated, but didn't love, I think the cold bothered her.) She seemed to like the cheesecake so Josh gave her another bite. Throughout the rest of dinner she was quiet and happy playing with a napkin while we ate.
Then, Josh put the last bite of cheesecake on his fork. I watched Hazel as her eyes followed that bite from the plate all the way to Josh's lips. The second it became clear that he was going to eat it she let out this ear-splitting scream and beat her hands on the table. SHE WANTED THAT LAST BITE! How dare we deprive her? Josh ate half the bite and gave her the other half, at which point, she reverted to her "I'm a little angel" look and played with her napkin as if nothing had happened.
We laughed so hard! I had tears running down my face from it! To see her reasoning was amazing. She's grown so much.
After, we realized that the behavior was cute at 7 months, but wouldn't be so cute at 17 months. We're going to have to watch it.

That's so funny! I can't wait for Katie to get here and I can have funny stories like that to share!
And I can't wait to hear those stories!
I was thinking today how cute it would be if Katie and Hazel really do become close friends. I can't wait for them to meet!
