Claire attempted to feed herself a Cheerio on her own, WITH A SPOON, this morning. We've been letting her hang onto an extra spoon or fork during meal times so she gets a feel for it and also trying to have her hold on while we feed her (the last of which she really doesn't like). At first she would pick up the Cheerio in her right hand and touch it to the spoon before putting it into her mouth. Next thing we knew, she had placed the Cheerio on her spoon and was guiding it towards her mouth with her left hand (uh-oh Dufresne's, do we have another lefty??). VERY COOL! The Cheerio fell off the spoon (it was dry so didn't stick) so she ended up missing her mouth but what an effort. Dad and mom were so excited to see her putting 2&2 together.
Other cool developments:
- She is perfectly capable of drinking from her sippy cup, but does enjoy it when someone holds it for her. (Jordan and mom refer to her as a gerbil when this happens).
- She likes to go for rides on the Gator with mom pushing her. Her feet don't hit the ground yet so she can't push herself along.
- If she doesn't like what she has on her 'plate', points to whatever she can see on the table she wants.
- Is giving kisses to the cat. She bends over and sometimes actually touches Tabitha but more often kisses the air.
- Pets Tabitha with her wrench (or hammer).
Now... if we can only get her potty trained....

It's amazing how ahead of the game she is! You've got a little genius there! Walking and using utensils!
Dahlia is into "petting" Beavis - which really means just grabbing. Yesterday she discovered his tail!
