A 1:00 video of 1.) his progressive destroying of our house, 2.) Daddy's love of baseball, 3.) Christopher having some fun, and 4.) How quickly Christopher changes moods...he is his father's son. (that was more complicated than it really needed to be, wasn't it?)
We've had some milestones...Christopher, not showing much success in adapting to the difficulties of "scooping to the mouth, was transitioned to the use of the fork. He did show much more success with that as it doesn't require as many finely-tuned and intricate movements to find success.
The Spoon = scoop food, bring non-secured food to mouth being careful to syncronize the movement of the wrist and forearm towards the mouth. We found little success with the spoon thus far. (See earlier blogpost: "How to Use a Spoon", July 1, 2009, 6:33 p.m.)
vs.
The Fork = stab then insert in mouth, then celebration. We found a much higher degree of success (not to get too excited...its not like he's twisting spaghetti around the fork or anything). He does still require some assistance with the actual jabbing part, but he's got the bring to the mouth and eat part down pat!
!!!!TOUCHDOWN!!!!
!!!!YYYYEEEEAAA!!!!
Here are just some pictures I thought were comical....
1.) He looks like some kind of television talk show host who has just asked someone on a panel a tough question as if he's all ears...well, aside from the fruit gunk all over his grill.
2.) "This one's for my peeps" Enough said.
A video showing his excitement at bathtime. The boy loves his bath, what can I say? Note, again, his toys all over the place. Daddy got in some trouble, too, for not putting the new roll of toilet paper on the roll after finishing the old roll....and he's man enough to admit that.
He's also learning his animals, although this is an admittedly slow process. He can bark like a dog
("oof"), buzz like a bee, and growl like a tiger (depicted below). Of course, it takes a lot of prompting on our part and cooperation/desire on his part, but he is abile to make the sounds when he chooses to do so.
And, finally, just some cute pictures...note the 3rd picture in this series (orange t-shirt). He's got 1 molar through completely, another pierced this morning (his lower right and lower left respectively). We think the upper 1-year molars might be trying to push through too. He's been a drool machine.
Congrats to Christopher on his successful use of the fork! His "I did it!" pictures are hysterical. That's a boy who knows how to celebrate a victory.
ReplyDeleteLoved both videos, but the bath time video is especially priceless, what with that adorable giggle and that tiny little butt. So. Freakin. Cute.
