<\/a><\/p>\nWhat\u2019s she been up to this past month? Well\u2026<\/p>\n
She bounces to songs. I think she\u2019s going to like to dance.<\/p>\n
She nurses 4 times a day.<\/p>\n
She is an adventurous eater and usually eats 2 meals a day. She will eat anything we put in front of her, though she has her preferences (likes: peas, broccoli and black beans. will tolerate: avocado and eggs). Her pincer grip has gotten really good and she can pick up peas with ease.<\/p>\n
She still enjoys books and walks. Relaxing in her swing will keep her happy for long stretches of time. She likes to bounce in her jumparoo while I blog.<\/p>\n No teeth yet, though I can see two under the surface on the bottom. I don\u2019t think it will be too long.<\/p>\n She likes to bang these together and slap the top of surfaces, which is making eating out more and more of an adventure.<\/p>\n She goes to bed at 7:00 and sleeps until 7:00. She takes 2 naps. Usually 9:00-10:30 and 2:00-3:00 or 3:30.<\/p>\n We no longer use the noise machine. We just turn the sleep sheep onto rain and after 40 minutes, it shuts off. The transition was surprisingly seamless.<\/p>\n She is tolerating tummy time better and better. She pushes up on her arms and can wiggle backwards and in circles.<\/p>\n She doesn\u2019t pull herself up, but can stand while holding onto the couch.<\/p>\n She prefers sitting and has learned how to scoot her butt and move. She mostly goes backwards.<\/p>\n She is as expressive as ever. Funny faces are a daily occurrence. As are babbles and saying dadadada. She likes to whisper, especially to herself when she thinks we\u2019re not around.<\/p>\n She will sometimes shreik, then look around to see who heard, then laugh at herself.<\/p>\n She loves to shake her head no whenever we nod our head yes. Uh-oh She is finishing up the last of her size 2 diapers and will be in 3s by the weekend. She wears 9 month, 12 month and 6-12 month clothes.<\/p>\n She gives kisses now. Open mouthed slobbers on the cheek. Nothing so gross has ever felt so sweet.<\/p>\n She loves Koda.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
