…because she broke off a piece of the plant for herself. Now that Ms. Cuteness is increasingly mobile, she’s starting to reach/stretch/dig for trouble big time. So, while standing up and reaching, the other day, I guess the aloe vera plant looked very tempting. And next thing I know, she’s holding a piece of it in her hand.
Oh well, at least that plant is intended to be broken up for use…LOL.
We’re sure glad she enjoys her bath time. Lately, her latest thing is to try and get everything in her mouth…
Don’t drink the water!
April has not started off with flurries. That’s right, not showers, but with flurries, and the slow growth of May flowers. For an allergy sufferer who’s a nursing mom this spring, I’m just praying that it’s a quick, sneezeless and sinus-pain free springtime.
Let’s see, what has happened so far this month? Jono’s basketball team won their division championships. Go Revolution! Debbie’s birthday was on Apr 2. Happy Birthday! I hope that this next year goes even better than the last. I look forward to more chit chats, more laughs, plenty jokes and great life lessons. And now we’re up to the Easter weekend. Yeah, first real holiday since Christmas time for Jono. I can’t wait until the province has a February holiday.
Baby’s doing well. Maybe I’ll post some pics later. She’s crawling like it’s no one’s business. She’s working on pulling herself up to standing. Hasn’t quite bothered with wanting to walk just yet. She’s quite fresh, though. Once she’s standing, she wants to let go and stand alone, though she’s clearly not ready for that yet. Ahh, the laughs. She’s also got two clearly visible bottom teeth. Those are some sharp little buggers.
Our nursing relationship continues well. Turns out that she’s allergic to her rice cereal, so no solids yet. (Do paper napkins count as solids??) She doesn’t bite me while she eats; only when she’s full and decides that my nipple makes a fun chew toy. But as long as you can’t hear me screaming, it’s all good. I’m onto my little Trickster. She acts as though her tremendously cute smile should dull all pain….and it almost does. I can’t wait until she’s a nursing mom and the razor sharp teeth dig into her. I’ll be there to smile and gloat. LOL.
Well, Dacia, that was my update.
Okay….I was finally able to get better videos of the crawling. There are some shots from the front and from the sides…making a total of three vids.
Enjoy!
Crawling Warmup—-
Come To Mommy—-
I Want Ducky—-
Well, I think it’s safe to say that Baby Girl has figured out this crawling thing. I’m still working on getting it from different angles, as she doesn’t crawl on command just yet. LOL.
…Jamayia’s first tooth.
Yes folks, there’s something sharp starting to protrude through her gums. It’s not yet visible to the naked eye though. But soon enough.
My baby’s growing up.
Jamayia loves to move. A lot. She’s not one to really sit still for too long when she’s excited. It’s neat to watch her development and see just how eager she is to explore. As she grows, she’s trying to move. She’s working on pulling herself up to standing. She’s also deciding that maybe crawling’s not a bad idea after all.
I must’ve shot about 5 videos, trying to see if she’d crawl for the camera. Not yet. But I’ll keep on the lookout. In the meantime, here she is testing out her knees.
This girl’s got pretty good taste in music so far. Here she is getting her praise on this evening.
Jamayia loves her baths. I’ve blogged a wee bit about the funny-ness (and horror) of the poopy disasters. But time to talk about the cleanliness.
She had a biggie today…but no extra messes. YEAH!!! To be fair let me say the following:
New Mommies–be warned. Not all poopy diapers are ugly or overflowing. It just so happens that the ones you most often hear of (and the ones you yourselves will always tell of) will be the big ones. But, there will be happier days. All that matters is that in the end, your baby will come out smiling.
Lucky for me–my Supermodel also likes to pose for the camera.
