Pulling herself up on bouncers, chairs, coffee tables, entertainment centers, bookshelves, and couches, she is one determined little peanut! Mommy did not even realize there was that much stuff to pull up on! We are in trouble...
Teething to no end, there have been little signs of actual teeth coming through. Combining that with growth spurts have interrupted naps and nighttime sleep. Thankfully, at night, daddy is able to comfort her and she goes back to sleep quite easily. However, the shortened naps have been something mommy frequently must discern: do we rock back to sleep or start playing without starting a new bottle? Mostly it has been the latter, she is not accustomed to being rocked to sleep often, which is a huge blessing for all of us. AJ is such a good baby, and we are very blessed to be able to watch her grow.
Some of her favorite things include:
*Standing up, using whatever means necessary
*Trying to climb (fortunately for mommy, we are having a frustrating go of that!)
*Eating solids, trying new foods (mostly fruits and veggies)
*Emptying out the diaper bag (it's no fun playing with the toys that are just lying around ;))
*Finding every nook and cranny that daddy and mommy do not want me in :)
We have one adventurous little girl, but I cannot wait to see how she grows. I love taking her to the park and putting her in the baby swings (not much else we can do besides lay out a blanket to crawl off of). It is so much fun to think of all the things we will have the privilege of teaching her, it is also such an amazing blessing to take our time (even though it seems to slip by faster than we realize) soaking in this season of infancy.
