Will saved her.

Ok, so yesterday morning we went to IHOP for breakfast. Everything was going perfect and then the food arrived at the table. Sophia gets the Baby Cakes meal with silver dollar pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon and in the past she's loved it. She went straight for the gross, fatty piece of bacon and shoved it into her mouth. I was able to break it in half before she devoured it. Phew...

One of her new habits lately is to shove the entire piece of (fill in food here) into her mouth at once. She's given up on biting, but I digress...

I had just commented to Will how fatty the bacon was and how gross it must be. We looked at Sophia and she was literally choking on it! I started hitting her on the back. That didn't help. Will is still chuckling at how I looked at him and "shrieked", "Will, she's choking!". I swear her face was turning blue and she was looking at me like HELP! I shoved my finger into her mouth and found nothing.

He started giving her the Heimlich maneuver and up came the bacon and all the milk and cereal she had eaten at home before we left! GROSS! I consider it her very first barf! He definitely saved her.

Wow, great job dad. That's a scary, amazing story. Did she finish the meal?

No, she didn't eat anything else for breakfast! And to be honest with you, I was barely able to eat mine either because I couldn't get the smell of barf of out of my nostrils. We had to strip her of her sweater and she had it on her pants too, but we couldn't take those off.
