We are teaching Cutter how to feed himself with a fork. So far he is doing pretty good and he is pretty proud of himself too. Check out these photos to see for yourself.
I want that!
I put the food on the fork and he puts the fork right into his mouth, without even missing the target! 
No mommy! NO MORE PICTURES!! 
See I can do this myself!
YUMMY!!
And a cheese to finish it off!!
I can't decide if Cutter has become a problem solver or if he is watching our dogs waaaaayyyyyy too much! About 2 or so months ago, Cutter found a new way to carry a toy from point A to point B. It has taken me this long to get a decent picture of it, because every time I would get the camera he would drop it. Almost like he didn't want any evidence that this was happening. We are in the process of trying to teach him that not everything has to go into his mouth. (Yeah, I know, good luck) However, we having much success with it. The items that Cutter seems to want to put in his mouth have been cut in half and are often soft things, such as a stuffed animal or soft toy. We are still working on it, and it is a work in progress, as is everything we are teaching him.
He wasn't quite sure what to think of it at first, but after holding it in his hand for a few minutes, decided that he would give it a try. 
He decided the best way to "eat" it was to suck on the end of the "cob". I guess the juices were pretty darn good! Can you see that smile behind that "cob"??
What a lil ham!
Why is it that the box is always so much more fun than the stuff that comes in it! In this case, it was Pampers box, but still Cutter had a great time playing in, around and on top of the box! Daddy had a great time spinning Cutter around in the box. The box occupied their time long enough for me to get some stuff done in Cutter's room! What fun on a lazy Sunday!

The destruction doesn't bother me! I am sure it won't be the last time I clean up a stack of books! I would have gotten a picture of him sitting in the spot, but by the time I got back with the camera he was moving away from the mess!
Cutter loves to laugh. Sometimes he sits in the middle of the living room and just starts laughing. Not just any kind of laugh, but a full on belly laugh - the kind that makes you want to join him. Greg and I haven't quite figured out if he is laughing at us, our pareting skills, the dogs, or just because he wants too. It doesn't really matter, because we just turn to each other and laugh back at him! Maybe that is what he wanted - us to laugh at him! Anyway, the kid is just as cute as can be - I'll laugh with/at him any day!
Not much happening in the Nix house (besides the laughing episodes). Sorry that the post have been kind of boring lately. I figure you come here to see the pretty (I can still call him that, right?) little man anyway, so why write much when the picture pretty much explains itself! If anything new happens, I'll let you know! ~Kristie
