The past few days…

It seems like Wyatt has been changing so fast lately. Everyday he becomes more and more capable; he sure is leaving babyhood in a hurry. This past week Wyatt has started to really use utensils. He has always liked to hold on to spoons while he shoveled food in his face with his hands, but this week he was introduced to the fork. He loves it! It did not take him long to figure out the stabbing motions to stick the food on the end and now he eats everything with a fork. Here he is eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a fork (that’s right. no nut allergies, YEAH!!!). Believe it or not this is actually a lot less messy than just with his hands. Wyatt’s hair is looking crazy long in these pictures - I think we are going to buzz it this weekend.

In addition to improving his motor skills Wyatt has also been excelling at his exploring skills. Wyatt loves to open and shut things; door, drawers, cupboards, books, microwaves, refrigerators, ovens, etc… He often shuts the door to his room and I let him play in there by himself for a few minutes before going in (don't worry his room is totally baby proofed). Today he combined his love of opening and closing things with his love of pulling clothes out of drawers or closets. I walked in to find him like this. He had pulled every towel off the bottom shelf of the cupboard in his room and climbed in; he thought this was hilarious!
