This little baby is into everything! She can go pretty much anywhere she dreams of now, and she can do it pretty quickly, too. This little chair in the kitchen is one of her favorites while I’m cooking or doing school. She loves that she can pull herself up onto her knees and see everything. For some reason, whenever someone says “hi” to her, she automatically puts her hand to her ear like this. Not sure if it hurts her or maybe her way of saying “hello”?
As of yesterday, August 30th, she can officially pull herself up onto her feet, as long as she has something just her height. She’ll stand up, leaning against something for the longest time. (I’m not sure she can get down, actually!) She loves this toy that’s just her height. She sits well on her own now and can go from laying down to sitting up to sitting on her knees all in one minute.
Her big brother and sister love to “take care of” her and feed her things. Including ice cream. She doesn’t mind at all. She loves to be with them. She loves climbing on Andrew when he’s laying on the floor and giggles when they play peekaboo with her. Andrew, however, hates when she gets his toys. We had to put his train set up on his bed so she wouldn’t get it, because he screams! Now she can almost still get it even when it’s there!
She is eating more solids and nursing less now. She nurses 4 times a day, now (meals & bedtime), and will eat almost a whole jar of baby food at each meal. She can do some finger foods now, as long as she can gum them because she still has no sign of teeth! She loves the little Gerber puffs, yogurt melts, and my homemade pancakes. Oh, and pretzel sticks and French Fries.
She loves when she thinks she’s helping me. Especially if she can make a mess doing it. She is infamous for emptying toy boxes and baskets by just throwing their contents around the room.
She still sleeps well through the whole night. She’s starting to be a little more resistant to naps. She’ll nap well in the morning, but not till later, like 10 and then she’ll sleep until 12 or so and not want to take an afternoon nap until about 4 (as soon as Andrew wakes up from his nap, leaving me no break-time whatsoever, of course). She may be almost ready to drop her morning nap. She’s just so social she often doesn’t want to miss anything and this is what I find when I just lay her down in her crib at nap time:
