I have been observing Nicky and noticing that he has a better sense of direction.
He is getting better directing his scooter around, moving it around until it is aligned along the path he wants to travel.
Nicky has got the hang of his walker.
He has finally figured out the walker! Previously he would only push himself backwards. Now he is moving himself all over the house and even outside. He is literally walking, with some support.
His favourite thing to do is “walk” from room to room holding onto me. He is getting good at standing when I hold out my hands to do this.
Another consequence of this increased ability to “steer”, is being able to feed himself. Yes, a lot of the food is landing everywhere, but some is definitely going in. He really prefers to feed himself, even though it is a big mess.
Our new fence.
Our first summer swim
We took our first swim of the season. We finally have a pool fence. Nicky did not like the water at all. He preferred to play with his yellow dog toy on the sidelines while we cooled down.
Oh, and he has taken his first independent step!! Nothing after that, but I’ll keep you posted.
Oh that first step! How exciting. Changes and firsts come so fast at that age.
Aww, his first step!
I forgot you are in a different part of the world—you had your first swim and we’re gearing up here in the midwest States for first snow! 🙂
Yay!! First steps are exciting and scary at the same time. 🙂 I’m sure he’ll get better at feeding himself really quickly and then you’ll feel sad about how big he is getting. That’s what happened to me anyways. 🙂
Wow – what an exciting time!! I’m sure more steps will be following soon so it’s great that you have the pool fence up before he really starts running!! My girls had that same swim suit when they were little – that photo brought back such lovely memories!!
It’s so exciting! Soon he will be running all over the place.
Glad to read that he is eating better as well. Feeding themselves is a huge mess but it does get better and less messy.
First step, wow that’s exciting! I can’t believe how big he is getting, time is flying!
such a fun time!
FYI my son is almost 2 and the whole “feeding himself” thing has not gotten much neater…there’s still a lot of food EVERYWHERE. I’d almost prefer if he didn’t insist on using the fork and just used his hands! 🙂
