Little Miss Independent

Right after Julianna's first birthday she decided she could do all things on her own.  And boy did she let me know!  I sat down to feed her one night and she started screaming, turning her head, crying and pitching a huge fit.  I could not figure out what was wrong and nothing I did would pacify her!  I finally pried her out of the high chair and put her in my lap to feed her.  She refused to eat anything I tried to give her but started reaching for her plate to feed herself.  Once she started feeding herself all was well.  Really?  She just turned "1" and she's already to big for me to feed?!  Ever since then she has been feeding herself.  She refuses to let anyone feed her and if you try, she screams her head off!  So I make sure to cut everything up very small let her go to it!
