Big week for the Nugsters

First he learned to walk, then he figured out how to go down the stairs (he's been going up for quite some time), then after a few cranky days I checked in his mouth and saw one of his molars was half way through. Here are a couple more things he's learned this week:

Started using a spoon. Messy, but very proud boy.

After our trip to Tibet without one single restaurant having a highchair I decided to research light, portable meal time containment options and here's what I came up with. I'm trying to get him used to it at home before we take off again. It's very secure and he seems to like sitting at the counter with the big boys. Yes, he is sharpening pencils and after that I had some knives that were getting dull.Now that he's walking and going up and down stairs, I can never find the kid. Yesterday I called and called, and when neither he nor Indy made a peep I figured out they were outside just hanging under the trampoline. I leave the back door open for Indy and Dominic loves exploring out there with her. She is unbelievably patient with him. She lets him use her as a walker when he's not steady and one afternoon I watched her let him repeatedly throw sand from the sandbox on her back.
