This little gal just gets cuter every day!
And we've already had her with us for seven months!
Phoebe is:
... sitting by herself. She's gotten very sturdy lately, and will sit for a long time so long as she has something in front of her to play with. Give that girl a toothbrush, or something crinkly and she'll be fine for hours!
... loving real food. Surprisingly, [or maybe not if you know my love of all edible things from the sea] so far her most favorite food she has tried has been shrimp! She devoured it and literally screamed anytime I took it away or made her take a break from it. She l.o.v.e.d. it. It was truly a sight to behold. She also loves sour cream (!) and yogurt, any fruit or vegetables, and will tolerate blander foods like rice and cereal... but in suit with her sisters, she truly loves flavorful foods.
... bouncy! She loves to be up on her legs and will bounce up and down for what seems like hours. Whether in her bouncer, standing up to a table or crib, or just holding hands, she will bounce up and down and up and down and up and down. It's fun to watch!
... very snuggly. She still snuggles me on the regular, and has started giving discernible hugs, which is most adorable! she likes the feeling of soft things on her face - hair, blankets, clothing, toys - and will nuzzle up next to anything soft if she's tired.
... a mover. She scoots and rolls across the room in a blink, and only occasionally gets stuck now. She's figured out how to get around when she wants. She will get up on her hands and knees and just kind of bounce with it for a moment, likely just testing the waters of new moves, so I'm sure full-blown crawling isn't too far behind.
She's just the best! Her somber stranger face is truly a trick, because she is smiley and happy almost always when we're at home!
These girls are the best of friends!
