Eating habits: She has started to eat small amount of soft table food like bread and noodles. She likes cheerio type baby food. She loves all the fruit baby food and tolerates veggies. She also started drinking water from a sippy cup. She still drinks a 6 oz bottle about every 3 hours.
New skills: She learned how to pick up her belly and crawl instead of scoot, and is really fast now. She pulls her self up to knees and also learned to pull herself up to standing. She sometimes pulls up to unstable objects and falls over. She often gets stuck standing up in her crib, unsure how to get back down. She loves to crawl all over the house and some baby proofing has taken place. Her little knees are always red.
Sleeping habits: She is a good sleeper once she is asleep. But, I have to practically rock her to sleep every single nap and bed time. She won't take a binky so self soothing is tricky. She will usually sleep from 7pm-6:30am. Her morning nap is always cut short because we have to go get Rhylan from the bus stop at 10:30 every day. She even boycotts naps sometimes. Church is hard for her because it is from 2:00-5:00 right during prim afternoon nap time. She rarely goes to sleep unless she is in her crib.
New experiences: She started taking bath in the big tub. She really likes to play in the water, suck on bath toys and wash rags and splash her sister. She also got to meet her new cousin Desmond, who is only 5 months younger than her.
Favorite things: She loves to play with toys and eat everything. She isn't interested in her exersaucer anymore. But, she will sit in her highchair with toys, or something else to chew on. She likes to eat our clothes and rub daddy's short hair. She loves to play chase and giggles at the kids as we run after them. And never leave your shoes on the ground, she thinks they are dessert!! She loves to crawl into the kitchen, pull down the hand towels and then roll around in them:)
