Eating with a Spoon

Since it's been a month since my last post, you get two-for-one tonight. These were actually taken tonight at dinner. We had clam chowder soup and this is one of the first successful uses of a spoon. Some of it actually made it into her mouth, but much of it also made it onto her face. She also knows how to slurp it out of the bowl now too, which is funny!





As an update, Ashleigh started daycare two days a week a few weeks ago. Rob is still working M-Th nights, I'm in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays instead of Monday/Wednesday, so we do get a really long weekend together from early Friday afternoon through Monday afternoon. The daycare/peer-pressure effect has taken hold and Ashleigh went from barely walking a month ago to nearly running now. The bruise on her left cheek in the pictures isn't crayon or marker, but from doing a fast walk and falling right into the corner of the coffee table. She's also talking a lot more now and can say 65 words! She's got 11 teeth with her fourth molar on the way now, so she's chewing well at this point and interested in and eating everything we are.
