Emily decided it would be fun to use Cheney as a chair this afternoon. He humored her for about 5 seconds. She also decided to "help" feed him tonight. She hauled out the container with his food all by herself and then dumped it in his dish after I scooped it out. Cheney was hiding from the vacuum cleaner, so Emily busied herself playing with Cheney's food. Check out the video in the April player. Austin stopped recording just before she picked up the entire dog dish and held it up to her face like a drinking glass saying, "All gone." :o)
I finally got some metal silverware for Emily and she has been practicing "poking" her food with a fork. She got pretty good with cooked carrots the other day. Bite-size pieces of PBJ toast work well, too (probably b/c the peanut butter makes it stick regardless of how well it's actually on the fork). Emily & I also shared a bowl of ice cream the other day, which surprisingly worked well with her fork b/c it was hard enough--too hard for her to scoop with a spoon. The other momentous occasion in that department was officially moving her high chair downstairs. I'll haul it up again when the weather gets really nice and I can hose it down for good outside :op, but she now exclusively sits at the table in her "big girl" chair. :o)

That is very cute....like she's playing pretend. Sounds like you guys are keeping busy with her, and enjoying getting outside....good luck with the sandbox. We got one last week, and Asher enjoys spending time in it. Now I just wish we had a fenced in yard so he could explore all over....we have to kind of watch him though because we have a retaining wall and steep sidewalk we don't want him to fall off. Take care!
