Here’s a rundown of what’s up with baby girl:
- Teeth–she’s got 2 top teeth working their way into appearance. She’s again handling this like a champ. Praise the Lord!
- Kisses–If I ask for a kiss, she’ll turn her head to face me and aim for my lips. She hasn’t figured out how to properly pucker for them yet, but that’s alright. She knows what they are, which is what counts. I feel so accomplished, that I was able to teach her something cool! A bigger bonus is that sometimes, she wants a kiss without any prompting, so she’ll turn her head and put on the sweetest face. I love it!
- Climbing–This isn’t really a good thing. She loves to try and reach for things–usually the wrong things though. Like, she’s slowly decimating a couple of my plants. She loves to reach for the computer mouse. She’s constantly trying to climb the arm of the couch, and reach the computer desk for anything remotely enticing. She’s even realized that if you stand on your tippy toes, you can reach things better. **shakes head**
- Solid Food–we’re slowly venturing into the world of solids. Let me just say off the bat that the diapers are just plain wrong at this stage of the game. She eats best when Daddy feeds her alone. If I try and feed her, she gets distracted by the lure of the boobs. **shrugs** What can I say–I give good stuff…LOL. She’s enjoying rice cereal. I’m trying to start her with veggies & fruits. So far, we’ve tried green beans–ugg. She doesn’t seem to care for them and actually makes faces. Next stop, applesauce.
- Talking–No, she doesn’t say any real words just yet, but she’s certainly upping her vocabulary. She’s saying more pronounced sounds and babbling away more often now. Baby talk–it’s mad cute. She also shakes her head. Not sure why.
- Hair Styling–no good progress here either. Her hair is super long. She still h-a-t-e-s having it combed and will scream bloody murder during the styling process. But once Mommy’s holding her, she’s all smiles and play.
Alrighty, I think that covers her pretty well. Now for updates on Mommy & Daddy.
