• You are officially crawling! You started crawling backward while we were on vacation in Illinois, and the day after we got home, you started going forward.
• You crawl with your right knee on the ground and your left foot flat on the ground.
• You, your sister, and I traveled to Illinois this month to visit Carly, Corey, Kaya, and Max. The four flights could not have gone any better! You both were amazing little travelers, and Mommy even got to read on the last flight home because both of you girls slept the entire flight!
• You cut your fourth tooth while we were in Illinois.
• You are a vampire - you have your two upper lateral incisors and your two bottom middle teeth.
• You are not sure you enjoy swimming, but splashing is pretty fun. In the pool you hold onto my neck like a spider monkey.
• You have started spider climbing walls and cabinets to stand up, then hold on with one hand.
• You are waving! Usually from any sort of standing position.
• You use my leg to stand up, let go, and sit back down.
• You cruise along the bookshelves and the couch.
• You still love to play by yourself in the morning. You sit with your toys and explore and babble for a good hour while I drink my coffee and sister is still sleeping.
• You wake up like clockwork at 6:30am.
• You have started saying "Momma" and "Lily." Lily sounds like "Yee-yee!" It is ADORABLE.
• You sign "more" sporadically and "all done" by sticking your hands up and shaking them.
• When you are excited to see someone, you throw your arms up in the air and yell, "HA!"
• If you are mad or don't want something we hand to you, you chuck it.
• You love the crinkle of any sort of wrapper.
• You love to open and close drawers but haven't quite figured out how to close them without smashing your fingers.
• You are not sleeping well, but you are also learning a lot of new things. You are a very happy girl despite short sleep cycles, so hopefully we turn a corner soon.
• You have decided that food is pretty tasty, especially yellow curry! So maybe it wasn't that you didn't like solids, it was that I wasn't feeding you what you really wanted. You wanted more flavor apparently!
