Because she seems to have a fondness for chewing her food and then spitting it back out on her plate. I hope she grows out of it soon. I'm ignoring it for now but it's annoying. It used to be just meat but now it's yummy fruit, pancakes, pretty much everything. I do think she's getting big though. She's finally outgrowing her baby bathtub at 18 months!! We are going to try a big girl bath tonight.
