-She’s becoming a Mommy’s girl! Although she’ll still go to just about anyone if she’s happy, this little one is sure becoming attached to her mommy. She prefers me to put her down for naps and bed, though Daddy does a good job too. Also, she’ll look for me in a room, will hold her arms out for me when she wants me to hold her (she doesn’t do that for just anyone!) and when she’s super excited, tired, or shy, she’ll turn into me if I’m holding her and burrow her head into my chest or arm. I love it!
-She’s an expert at rolling over now. Anytime she’s on her back she’ll almost automatically roll over to her tummy, pop her arm out in front of her, and push her chest up so she can look around with those bright eyes of hers.
-She’s started scooting around, like a little inch-worm! In the last few days she’s started pushing her little bum into the air and then pushing with her feet to scoot forward. It’s funny because she hasn’t figured how to do it with her head up yet, so she’s just pushing herself along with her face on the carpet! But between her new scooting skills and her rolling over abilities she’s starting to really be able to cover some ground when she wants to get somewhere!
-She’s sitting up on her own! In the last two weeks she’s nearly perfected the art of sitting up on her own. She still doesn’t know how to get herself into a sitting position, but if I sit her up, then she’ll sit and play with her toys, catching her balance with her hands if she tips. She’ll occasionally fall over if she over-extends to reach or toy or if she pushes herself over backwards. At least she only has about a foot or so to fall!
-She loves to walk when you hold her hands. Her little wobbly steps are getting much more coordinated lately. Also, she can really cruise and gets super excited whenever she’s walking. We’re wondering if this baby will ever learn to crawl or if she’ll just take off running one day soon!
-She makes super loud dinosaur sounds (i.e. shrieks and squeals at an extremely high pitch) and has recently started babbling with more muted, conversational sounds. This little girl already likes to get her opinion heard and isn’t shy about it one bit! I love hearing her happy baby sounds!
-She’s still a great sleeper and is getting on a more regular nap schedule as well. She regularly sleeps about 10 hours at night, waking up to eat only once. Thank you, baby!
-She watches everything with her super-big eyes and usually wants to touch everything with her super busy hands! She doesn’t want to miss a thing. I swear she’s taking notes on everything she sees! I love her curiosity and excitement!
-She wants to chew on everything in sight, especially anything that isn’t hers (ex: cell phone, glasses, computer, etc.). Still no sign of teeth, though I’m sure it’ll be soon.
-She’s a little social butterfly, sharing huge smiles, little grins and big laughs with anyone who is funny enough to deserve one! She’s very aware of people and has started noticing cats and dogs lately too. The huge grin she gives me when I come to get her out of her crib in the morning is enough to just melt my heart!
