Dell is using utensils more and more and doing a great job. His sister used them a lot right off the bat. She refused to be fed by anyone but herself. Dell, however, preferred to have us feed him. Nowadays though, he is happy to take charge.

I made some BBQ Chicken Quesadillas today & Dell was the first one to test them out.

Hmmm.... Not sure what to think of that face....I think he's contemplating if he likes it or not....

Yay! I think that's a yes!!

"Oh. Me belly so full!"

"'Shh. Don't tell anyone I ate so much! Let's save 'em all for me! I don't wanna share!"

I'm thinking the BBQ all over his face might just give it away. I won't have to say I word!!

There is a little smile behind that Binky!!

We headed out to Firefly Play Cafe today to meet up with our play group! Dell had a blast! These pics were taken with my iPhone so they are not the best quality, but I think you will see how much he enjoyed himself!

He really liked playing with the dinosaur stamps in the science area... a little too much actually... he sat in the big stamp pad!! But otherwise he did a great job stamping the paper!

This little cozy house had a huge felt board. Dell spent quite a bit of time hanging out in here!

See? He's so happy!
