It's unbelievable how fast I'm growing! In just the last two weeks I have continued to learn and discover new things! I can sit up pretty well on my own (with the occasional tipsiness to the side still, but no more leaning totally forward!) I can support my back pretty well and sit straight for a short period of time.
I've also discovered that not only are my toes fun to play with in my hands, but they are SUPER fun to put in my mouth!!!! That's my new favorite activity of the week, especially when I'm in my birthday suit and I can really stretch my legs up to my mouth:)
I mentioned in the last post how I started ceral and that's still going pretty well...Mom and dad have now given me some mushy green stuff (I think they call it avocado) and I actually really enjoy it! I'm becoming a pro at pushing food to the back of my mouth and I am actually swallowing more than I'm spitting back out!
I also continue to want to grab EVERYTHING and anything in site and I use both my hands and try my best to take whatever mom and dad are holding away from them! At Texas Roadhouse the other night, I was determined to get moms water glass from her, so she finally gave in and let me attempt to get a drink (although, nothing went into my mouth, I still enjoyed being a big girl and holding it and putting my mouth on it!) I also surprised my parents the other night when daddy decided to give mommy a break from the bedtime feeding...mom walked in to see how it was going, only to find me holding my bottle all by myself! Yep, I know, I'm learning fast! We've been practicing with a sippy cup this week and I can get a good hold on it and bring it to my mouth, but nothing comes out!!! (I still haven't mastered how to tip it up to get the good stuff!)
I've been enjoying lots of time with my cousins on both sides of my family. When my Auntie Heidi's boys came to visit with Grandma and spend the night, daddy was having just as much fun playing as they were! They all built a fort together and then they sat under there for a long time shining the flashlight and telling stories!
(Me and daddy at Darin and Andi's Wedding last weekend...we were both lookin' super cute so mom had to take advantage of the photo opportunity!)
I also got to meet my daycare provider, Amy this week. I was SO happy to meet her and she even had fun toys for me to play with. I'm so excited to meet the other friends that are there and play with them! There will be 2 girls within a couple months of me so Amy's going to have her hands full with us:) Who knows, maybe I'll make some new best friends! I start daycare part time on August 18th so that me (and mommy) can adjust to a new setting and daily routine. I start full time the week of August 31st...I think it will be good for both mommy to get back to work and for me to play with friends. We are both SO excited!!!!
That's all for this week! Talk to you again soon:)
Love, Danika
