Table Food

This girl LOVES chocolate! She self-proclaimed herself last week as a "chocolate-holic"!!

I absolutely love watching these two play together:)

This little guy has mad crawling skills these days, paired with his new ability to pull himself up on anything, I'm constantly chasing him!!

We got Avery a Tinkerbell toy box on clearance last week and the kids had a blast helping daddy put it together...here's Avery contribution:)

...and here's Spencer's-he's more into supervising right now:)!

Did I say how much I love watching my kids play together??!! Spencer has discovered he can crawl all over the house and the place he heads to most is his big sister's room. As Spencer is heading to Avery's room, Avery runs after him telling him to wait for her, then they go and play very peacefully, so far, in her room:)!

TABLE FOOD...This past Saturday, while out for Artie's birthday lunch, Spencer turned down his baby food. He had been starting to want less baby food the last few weeks, but Saturday he really wanted nothing to do with it. Instead he eyed his sister's chicken strips. Well, we decided to try to see if he would eat some if we tore it in small pieces and took the breading off...he not only loved it, he ate a whole one by himself! I can't believe how fast it happened but all of a sudden, Spencer wants table food and is doing pretty well with it. However, I did have a scary moment with him this morning. It involved a clump of cheerios and me giving Spencer the heimlich. I think it will take awhile for me to give Spencer any cheerios when I'm with him by myself, every mother's nightmare. After the both of us being pretty scared for about an hour, Spencer bounced back...mommy, on the other hand, is still trying to recover!

Eating some avocado chunks...he wasn't too thrilled with these.

Making himself very comfortable while enjoying some formula:)

Eating chicken and green beans for dinner the other night! He is going to take after Avery and love chicken!

Check this out! Tonight, we gave Spencer his sippy and he just started drinking the diluted juice like he had been doing it forever (this was his first time actually drinking anything from one!). Artie and I could not believe it! Spencer has just turned a switch in the last few days and has really found table food and his sippy to be more interesting than ever!

In Avery news, she continues to be a great big sister and is loving that her little brother can actually interact with her more. Avery is also counting and singing her ABC's (I'll really have to try and get some video of it)! She also likes to talk on the phone. She loves talking to Uncle Jake about him taking her to the PX-she went to the PX once in Oklahoma and now talks about it constantly!-and playing Rock Band with her:) I know I can't slow down how fast my babies are growing, so I'm just trying to take everything in and enjoy every second with them!
