... pulling herself up and standing next to everything! Its been a big adjustment - I can't leave her alone for 2 seconds without finding her pulling up next to a chair or the couch of a bookshelf. But she is so strong! And she's figured out how to lower herself down from standing - instead of just tipping over. So that's something, I guess.
... eating everything. And I mean Every Thing. She'll eat anything I put in front of her - and the more flavorful the better! We've been giving her plain noodles, plain cereal, plain chicken and all manner of plain foods, and she liked them just fine for a while, but now - Now she wants flavor! She won't eat plain noodles if I'm eating Mac & Cheese. She wants the orange noodles! She will push aside plain chicken in favor for BBQ chicken. I even try to trick her sometimes and give her a plain noodle along with a flavored one, and the little stinker will eat the flavored noodle and spit out the plain one! She likes to drink from cups now, and she's figured out how to use forks and spoons and get them to her mouth. She's so smart! And so far, she really hasn't been picky. She'll eat anything. And I'm SO grateful.
... awesome at giving high-fives! Brans taught her how, and the last few weeks she's gotten really good at it. (Though, she seems to get stage fright whenever someone else is watching her... so sometimes she doesn't do it on demand... but she knows how, I promise!)
... still a great sleeper. Sure, we have a few hard nights here and there... but for the most part, she lets us sleep. We're lucky, I know.
... a little chomper! She has four teeth, and likes to chomp down on things and has discovered the feel of her tongue on her teeth. It's funny to watch her run her tongue over her teeth and make new discoveries with those pearly whites! (And luckily, I've only been bit a few times.)
... talking so much! She says "momom" and "dadad" a lot - only occasionally in reference to us. And just this weekend she started making a sound that I swear sounds like "tickle-tickle-tickle"! It's the most adorable thing!
... the best girl. She is our joy and our little love!
I promise I didn't even pose her for this photo.
But it's just so perfect. The tongue. The crossed legs. Adorable.
Good grief, we love this cute girl!
