A Fork??? Already????


Sunday dinner, as I was trying to feed cute little 14 month old Noah his spaghetti, he reached out and GRABBED the fork out of my hand!!! I decided to let him hold it for a while, and soon realized that he actually knew what to do with it! He has been feeding himself, with a fork, every meal since. I'm shocked! Luke barely knows how to use a fork!!! Anyway. I just had to share some of the millions of pics I got of this amazing moment. I suppose he just got sick of waiting for me to give him the next bite :)


He really does have to focus quite a bit :) But I'm really impressed by the fine motor skills involved.



He of course clapped for himself a lot.
















Luke knows where the attention is and he knows how to get some of it :) Everyone was way cute getting all excited for Noah. Wouldn't you love to have a whole bunch of people cheering you on with each and every bite you take!! I love it!
Near the end he had to take the food off the fork and put it in his mouth with his fingers :) But still using the fork!

Way to go Noah.....you're growing up so much!


Everyone needs a picture!

What talent! I love how happy and proud of himslef he looks, and cute little Luke sharing the spotlight! My Tyson started eating with a fork early, but has since reverted to his fingers- dang it! Isn't amazing how even though you have seen it happen with all of your kids, that each one can amaze you every time they reach a milestone? Being a mom is the greatest!

I can't believe he's not completely covered in spagghetti!!! Tayvie would be... you give her a cracker and she's completely covered head to toe!

He is a pretty NEAT eater too. I really hadn't thought about that! I'm glad you pointed that out, Lacie.
