On Thursday the 14th, she suddenly learned to push herself into a sitting position when laying on her belly! It was after dinner one night when we were watching her play. Now she does it constantly - including when it’s naptime! Usually she will start to learn something & it will take her a while to achieve & begin to do it all the time. Not with this new skill!
And boy does she want to crawl! She gets on her hands & knees a lot & rocks forward, but doesn’t really go anywhere. (But she manages to get where she wants by rolling around, and then sitting back up!) When deciding to try to crawl or sit up, she gets on all fours, with her butt straight up in the air! I’ve been trying to get a photo or video of it. I came close with one photo today.
And when she sits on the Clifford rolling toy, she can push herself forward a bit with her feet. She will sit on the toy for quite a while!
Yes, she’s getting active. And she’s getting too big for some of the “baby” things - like the playpen and jumperoo. Oh, and she’s decided she’s too big to be fed anymore, too. She eats quite well with foods that she can feed herself, but only lets us feed her spaghetti. And if we pretend to “share” her yogurt, she’ll let us feed that to her, too.
Six weeks from now she will be a YEAR old. A whole year has just about gone by. That’s amazing.
I’ll try to get as many photos on that I can before we head to Paducah. Enjoy!
May 8 - Enjoying a cranberry-orange muffin. She won’t eat it if I year it up for her first!
May 10 : Mother’s Day - we took a few photos at the river park in the afternoon .. And chased some geese while we were there. J
May 11 - Oatmeal face!!
May 11 - This is her Birthday “Smurfday” shirt!
May 11 - A new favorite pass-time is cleaning out the toy bins in her bedroom.
May 11 - Sleeping at night, with the glow of the Rainforest soother on her face. :)
May 14 - playing in her bedroom for quite a long time one day. One thing she likes to get her hands on is the Baby-Proofing boxes of supplies! Those need to go in use very soon…
May 14 - Riding the elephant rocker in her nursery…
May 14 - She’s sticking her tongue out this time…
May 14 - Reading One Fish with Daddy before bedtime
May 15 - Matching Clifford in her beautiful red dress from Granny
May 16 - The Seuss Collection (except we forgot Hop on Pop, as he was in our room). She’s wearing the Horton shirt, too - which really does fit, but it looks in the photo like it doesn’t (it’s a size 6 months, but it’s boys so it fits still!)
May 16 - A day-and-a-half after learning to push herself into a sitting position: She was supposed to be napping & we suddenly heard music coming from her room. Russ went to investigate & hollered at me to come quick…naturally I grabbed the camera. She was sitting up & turning the bird mobile on. The button for this is not easy to find like the Rainforest Soother. We actually just recently bought that bird mobile because she saw it & just loved it. The birds actually flap their wings & “fly” in circles! (She happened to be naked this one time when napping. Oh well.)
May 17 - This is an outfit I’m “making” for her. The shirt was too short, and I saw on the internet how to make them “styling” and longer. I was also planning to add a lace skirt to it to make it a dress. I will probably do that with a different shirt because I like this bright/cheery outfit the way it is. J
May 17 - eating a Gerber “Wagon Wheel.” For some reason, she has started cramming the whole thing in her mouth at once (they dissolve, so it’s OK). This is her being goofy.
May 19 - Her new (seemingly) favorite food is frozen waffles. Easy for me and yummy for her. Can’t tear them into pieces though - she won’t eat the pieces! But she will devour an entire waffle.
May 19 - a baby bird on the deck. The “mama bird” feeds her baby on the deck rail! I was trying to catch a photo of that. It sits there & opens its mouth real big; she returns with food & feeds him. It’s so cute to watch!
May 22 - helping me clean dust bunnies under the office futon…
