learning to share

two days ago, the mini was eating a mum-mum cracker and instead of gobbling the whole thing all at once, she made an effort to bring it to my mouth and try to jam it in. like she wanted to share! i was thrilled, thinking that this shows her ability to think outside of her little baby world and think that maybe mommy wanted to share her cracker too! yeah, i know that children really can't grasp the concept of "sharing" per se until they are 3 or so, but i couldn't help but be happy thinking that she "gets" that we are sharing with her. the husband says that it is probably closer to mimicking or imitating - which is great in and of itself.

i'm just happy to sit and share a cookie with her any day. mimicking or not.
