Success with a fork!

I've been giving Avery a fork with his meals off an on for a while now, and up until today he hasn't really done anything productive (in my eyes!) with it. But, for dinner tonight he fed himself ravioli and mandarin oranges with a fork!! Yay! Success! he still was just as messy as usual, and used his hands a little...but he can do it! I was so excited, I took pictures! And when I called to tell Andy at work he asked if I was going to blog about it! :) So here are some pictures of my little boy being so big!

Also, someone posted this link to make faux "baby legs"on MC, so I decided to try it out today. they turned out really cute! (I think so anyway!) I just wish I could have found some socks that were more boyish so Avery could actually wear these. I think they'd be nice under pants in the winter, and they're really cute for a layered look under t-shirts...Anyway, even though the ones I made are girly I made Avery try them on. He hated it. that may have had a lot to do with the fact that he just woke up from a nap and I started shoving girly sock things on his arms and legs...oh well. He's VERY forgiving! :) (DIY directions for baby legs)

The willing model!
In other news, I got new curtains for our living room! I think the color combination is nice. and it makes the living room look less boring now that the curtains are a bold color. here's a little picture of the combo of the couch/pillow/curtain. If you don't like it, don't tell me! :)
