August

In the blink of an eye it's now the middle of August and we haven't yet had an August post!  A lot has changed in the last few weeks for Wee M.  Her sleeping is still hit and miss, but we're making progress.  She is no longer in a swaddle, and she has started to regularly take a morning nap around 9 or 10am and then one or two naps in the afternoon depending on the length of the morning nap.

I was incorrect in thinking the lady wasn't ready for solid food yet.  Turns out, she just doesn't like baby food and she want's to feed herself.  Give her chunks of cheese, tofu, blueberries, or Nutrio's and she'll eat more than you can believe! Just don't put a spoon near her mouth!  Her six teeth came in just in time.

She is doing very well sitting up and she is rocking forward as if to go into a full crawl.  Grammy noticed yesterday that on a few occasions she was able to push herself forward a little bit.  Mostly she goes backwards when she tries to go forward.  Right now she's happily bouncing away in her Jolly Jumper.  It's the first time she has tolerated it.

Her favourite activities are playing with stacking cups and pulling herself up in the laundry basket.  Her top friend is mummy.  Mummy's not allowed to leave a 5 foot radius of her, or else she has a little hissy fit.  Only way to stop the hissy fit is for Mummy to pick her up, or give her a fist full of Nutrio's!
