Some things she can do now:
- Loves to smile and gab with us! She will also imitate our sounds. Grandpa Peterson started growling to her and she loves to try and growl back! She even seems to expect it from him every time she sees him.
- Loves to sit up or stand (with our support of course!) so that she can see the world from a different view.
- She is constantly exploring the world around her. She has started to grab and reach for things, only to put them straight into her mouth. When we had her sit on the grass tonight to see how she would like it, I tossed some blades of grass on her, and she decided to taste them. She also seems to like glasses, Grandpa Peterson and Kevin have both had thier glasses stolen by miss grabby hands!
- She always has either her hand/s in her mouth or she is grabbing and playing with her feet.
- Hates the pacifier, Loves her fingers! (yeah, not looking forward to trying to break that habit!)
- She does NOT like bottles! I have been really lazy and not practiced with her for a couple of months and now she screams like bloody murder whenever I try to feed her some pumped milk.
- She sleeps really well through the night (7-10 hours) and has since she was about 2m old. Every now and again she will wake through the night, but it is seldom!
- She HATES tummy time, she will scream almost the entire time! UPDATE: well the day after I wrote this blog post, she decided she knew how to roll over and she does it almost without even realizing it now. She no longer seems to hate it because she knows she can change the situation.
- Sometimes we catch her asleep with her eyes open. She also recently started sleeping with her hands up behind her ears.
- Every day is one huge battle wherein the drool and spit up win. I try to keep up with it, but in the end, all is wet!
- Hates having her pictures taken! We always have to take a ton just to get a couple that turn out great (and maybe THAT is why she hates it!).
- Her laugh sounds like a gulp or a squeal, doesn't quite have the ha, ha down. UPDATE: again, a day after I originally wrote this post, she decided to giggle and laugh for us, and her laugh is ADORABLE!
- She LOVES to stare at and talk with her Daddy! I don't think she knows what to think of the beard though! (she always turns away when he goes to kiss her).
- She is now growing her hair back. She was getting pretty bare in the back even though she still had really long locks on top-all of which has now gone wavy. Random fact...whenever we put it in a ponytail, she looks like Pebbles Flinstone.
- She likes music, sometimes to the point of major distraction if mommy is trying to feed her with music or noise going on in the background.
- She still has a on/off switch. One minute she will be smiling and cooing and the next-screaming! And then back again.
- She is SO DARN CUTE!!!
