Growing up

Merrick has picked up really well on things that Kayton does and he wants to be just like him.  Just this last week, we have moved him to the booster chair at the table so he isn't in the high chair anymore.  He now only likes to eat food the way Kayton has it.  So if I give Kayton cereal in a bowl with milk, I have to give Merrick cereal in a bowl with a spoon and a little milk too.  He wants to be grown up now and he is working on feeding himself.  He is definitely messy about it, but he loves that he is doing things that everyone else is doing.  He is becoming very independent and it's very cute.  

This is the first time he fed himself with a spoon
