Wow, time is seriously flying!
You are doing so many new things this month!
- You have started saying "mamamama." You do this when you are hungry, and when you want Mommy to hold you.
- You have fun playing in your Exersaucer.
- You reach for Mommy and prefer to have her holding you over anyone else :)
- You now arch your back and throw yourself backwards when you are mad. We have to be very careful when holding you.
- You have moved past rice cereal onto oatmeal and barley. You hate the rice cereal now. Vegetables are next!!
- You take two naps during the day. Usually around 9:30 - 10:00 am and noon until 3pm. I can't tell you how happy this makes me!
- You've started sleeping through the night. Anywhere between 7 and 10 hours a night! I'm trying not to get too excited about this, because I know it could change at any moment.
- You are so intrigued by faces. You love to touch, slap, and grab them. You especially love to touch Daddy's beard.
- You like to sit on the counter in your bumbo while Mommy does the dishes.
- You love to pull/touch hair. Maybe one day you'll be a hairdresser? :)
- You reach for things and will move your whole body to touch something.
- You still haven't rolled over, but you can turn yourself in a complete circle. I'm starting to think you may just skip rolling over and start crawling instead.
- You got your first tooth October 28th!
- You love to "pet" Lily. Which really consists of grabbing a handful of her hair. She is very accomodating, though, and loves to give you kisses. I think you two will be good friends in the very near future :)
My sweetest memories of you this month are the nights when you wake up in middle of the night and just want to be held and rocked back to sleep. Everytime this happens, I focus on remembering just how small you are, how perfectly you fit in my arms, how you smell, and how you change from upset to peaceful the instant I pick you up. I will cherish these moments as long as I live. I pray that I can always be someone you can find comfort and calm in.I love you soooo much, Baby Girl!!!
