Table Manners

We picked up a cool little IKEA table for Walker this week. I painted it green - sort of a dill pickle color. Walker has been loving all the kid-sized furniture at the homes of his play pals so we thought it was time he have his very own table. Today he enjoyed lunch like a big kid. No high chair. No shoulder straps. No "One Flew Over The Cookoo's Nest" style dinning! We're not doing away with the highchair just yet, but we are enjoying this big step for our big boy.

Piano Man

Walker's new passion is the keyboard in the back room. We visit at least 20 times a day to play some tunes and rock out!





And Grandma Betsy shows off some photos of Walker at the keys. He's fascinated with his own image. Great.

Spoon Trick

We've had a few goofy days of playing at home with friends and playing outside with friends. Two key things seem to be happening: one, he is very interested in playing games that have rules and patterns. Two, he spends more and more time playing alone, flipping through books or constructing little scenes with his toys and dolls. Here's Walker "hiding" on the very unstable first shelf of his diaper table.

And here's our little cowboy at the mall with our DFW Area Moms playgroup. The only thing he liked more than climbing all all the plastic stuff was sneaking out to the stroller parking to check out the different sizes of buggy wheels.



And finally, this morning I handed Walker his spoon for breakfast and he used it! Usually he just chews the end or drums on the tray or lip syncs into the handle, but today he decided to be a full participant. Here is Walker's spoon trick caught on video. Yay Walker!

Where does it go? Fifteen months? Really? Sheesh.
