Notes from the Field
- It had been days since Emma bonked her head falling - she is getting really steady on her feet!
- But then yesterday she did it twice, though it was on Lonnie's watch not mine. Heh.
- She has mastered getting down from a standing position. It takes a few tries, but she makes it most of the time without any help at all.
- She is becoming a ham for the camera; no fake smiles yet, though, just 2-toothed grins.
- Oh yeah, she now has two teeth! They didn't seem to cause too much pain...
- Favorite toys right now: the humidifier box, her high chair (from the floor, not sitting in it), my small pocket measuring tape, and plastic food containers (thanks to Mona for that brilliant idea!).
- She is also becoming a little drummer - she likes to pound on anything solid (that includes me, it seems)
- Now that she's more mobile, she will sometimes play by herself for up to 20 min at a time! She will circle around the room, pulling up here, crawling here, playing with this and that. It's fun, and nice to be able to do something myself.
- I forget if I've posted about this already, but Lonnie has started being able to reliably get her asleep in the crib at night, whahoo! Our bedtime routine has now become dinner, bath (and nursing), jammies, and stories and/or bottle with Daddy. Its working really well. She wakes somewhere between 1-4 hours later, at which point I nurse her back down quickly in the bed.
- Naps? Eh, still all over the place, some in the car, some in a carrier on me, some (like right now!) in the bed. Rarely in the crib, at least without a fight, since she doesn't sleep soundly enough for the transfer.
New pics added, starting here...
