Practice Makes Perfect

Breakfast with the boys

We are starting to practice feeding ourselves a little bit more and we are trying to learn how to use a spoon. This can be a little on the messy side, needless to say, and we often end up with applesause in the hair, sweet potatoes in the nose, and yogurt everywhere. We only miss our mouths once or twice or maybe a little more than that. We do get very excited, however, about using a spoon and it also helps with our interest level in eating.

Although I keep forgetting to mention this, Liam is a full-time walker now. He is definitely walking more than crawling. It took him awhile and he still loves the push toys, but he is getting around and moves at a little faster pace than Luke. I really am chasing them as they walk in opposite directions now. It is often a matter of prioritizing which one looks like he may get into trouble faster than the other one and then going for that one!

Both of the boys learned how to say "uh-oh" this week and are using it frequently when they drop things on the floor. It is pretty funny to hear and they always laugh at themselves.
