She is drinking water from a sippy cup now! Well, she sometimes tries to use it upside down and often bites on it, but she understands the process.
She can sit up really well (she can even go from lying down to sitting up on her own!) and assumes the crawling position. When she tries to go somewhere, her legs move but her arms don't, so she just falls forward.
She's eating meat now! I tried to give her some awhile ago but she totally wasn;t interested, and I could blam her because it smelled like cat food. However, we have had the turkey and rice and beef and vegetables and they both seem to be a hit. She loves most of the vegetables but really only likes the prunes, pears, and Hawaiin Delight in the fruit department.
Tonight she picked up one of the puffy foods on her own! Before this she would only look at it and then look at me, like, "OK, what are you going to do with that?" She picked some up today! At first she was having trouble using just her fingers, so she would just grab it with her fist and couldn't figure out how to get it in her mouth. She dropped one and it landed on my finger and she immediately shoved my finger into her mouth to get the puffy. And she actually chewed it a little! I know, it's really not that exciting, but when I watch her do all this new stuff I get so excited. She looks at me like I'm crazy when a cheering and clapping!
Sleeping however, has gotten worse. I think she has some teeth that are trying to come through or something because she is up all the time. It is making me exhausted and I feel bad that she is upset :-( My goal is to get her to sleep through the night before the next one comes along :-)
I know most of this isn't very exciting for people, but I enjoy seeing her progress. Plus, it's my own little online scrapbook for her.
Just Being Silly!
Making sure those dancer legs stay limber
Chillin' in her new tub
What a cheese-ball!
