peekaboo!

This is a fun game, and also a good way to get Hallie to eat more baby food. She often covers her eyes when she doesn't want to do something, such as eat (her thinking: if I can't see it, it must not be there). If you make this hiding a game of peekaboo, she'll happily emerge from her hiding spot with a grin that's wide enough to sneak in another spoonful. I have to indulge her whenever she wants to play this game so I'll always have that feeding trick up my sleeve for when she goes through streaks of particularly defiant non-eating. Also I have to make sure we play it without every time shoving another bite of food in her mouth or she'll stop trusting me when we play fun games...
