Emma hasn't quite figured out how to eat a popsicle. She mainly sucks on the handle, but quickly gets frustrated because she doesn't like holding the cold part. She also likes to finger-lick the popsicle, but easily gets distracted by anything else - that method takes entirely too long!
I've attempted to show her how to eat a popsicle by placing her hand on the handle and putting the popsicle to her mouth. But that activity stripped her of her independence and resulted in tears. I guess I'll need to step back and simply let her figure it out for herself. All in due time. :)
In the meantime, here are a few photos of Emma exploring this new food.

| "Finger-licking good!" |

| "Mom, I'm an independent woman. I don't need you to show me how to run my life!" |
