Fork and some rambling

We continue to work on using the spoon and fork. I have to help him stab the food with the fork, but he really likes to try and use it. Other things he is doing, you ask? Well the thing he has gotten really good at...throwing tantrums! We have just recently dropped his morning nap which has gone fine. He still doesn't sleep as long as I would like him to in the afternoon, but I wont bore you with those details. He still isn't walking, but cruises around all over the place and uses his walker more and more. He signs more, finished, and cookie. He waves hi and bye and blows kisses. He says mama, dada, bye, and bubu (for bubble). He also says forms of dog, no, and nannie. His receptive language is amazing and he can identify so many things in books or around the room by pointing. He can "tell" me what a lion says as well as a cow. (So I am kinda using this as my baby book so this is also for my benefit, so hang in there with me). He loves the water, playing outside, and eating. He is the fastest crawler I have ever seen! He is my heart!
