1) When was your bub able to use a spoon? Abs is almost 14 months and just wont do it..

2) how do you get your baby to stop smacking! where do babies learn to smack if they have never been smacked before... its really upsetting because she has picked up on DF and I saying "no smakcking" or "dont smack", so now she says "mack" when she does it. she does it when shes agry or doesnt get her way... and it includes smacking ppl in the FACE! She also did it to me in the supermarket when i told her to stop chewing on the trolly bar and she smacked me and a lady saw.... the lady laughed but i was so worried she would think i smack abby

3) She HURTS herself. When shes angry or upset she will pinch her face and almost gouge her eye out. its really silly and i cant stand it. i just pull her hand away and say no, or dont hurt yourself but she still does it. is that the weirdest thign ever?

4) Talking- she can say a lot of words and does every now and then, but most of the time she will just grunt and point. How do i encourage her to use her words? i try to get her to say what I know she can say, like water (war-war) when she wants a drink, but it alwys ends in her chucking a fit.

Any ideas would be helpful....
