She is still sleeping well at night, typically about 12 hours a night. She has been back and forth between one and 2 naps. When she takes a morning nap it is only 30 to 45 mins and then her afternoon nap will be and hour to 90 mins. Recently she has been waking up early from her naps because she is pooping, it is very frustrating for me. Since she has stopped drinking her bottles she has been waking up a little earlier then I would like (around 7/7:15 am) and she wakes up starving. Hopefully soon she will get used to this new eating routine of hers and will get back to waking up at 7:45.
She is still all over the place and constantly into everything. She loves to explore the house, I am forever chasing her around. If I forget to put the gate up at the stairs she is up them in 2 seconds. We have really been working with her to get her walking. I really want her to be able to walk when the weather warms up so that when we go to the park she can play with the other kids and I don't have to worry about her eating the grass, leaves, dirt, bark, dog poop, etc. She has a little toy that she loves to push around and she has gotten really good at it. She also walks really well holding on to just one finger of ours. On her birthday she took her first steps. She took 2 steps twice and then took 3 steps to Craig. Hopefully it will all click soon.
This month we started putting her hair into ponytails and pigtails. They poke straight up and looked kind of funny at first, but she doesn't like to keep headbands in anymore and her hair has started to get into her eyes. We have had people at the grocery store or gym or other random places call her Alfalfa or Pebbles or things like that. I also had a little kid tell me at church that if we keep doing her hair like that then it is always going to poke straight up. She still loves to give kisses and she has also learned how to give hugs. She has gotten really good at waving and giving high fives and will do it for just about anyone. She loves to give kisses and hugs to her Pooh Bear and Cat in the Hat stuffed animals.
I think she is going to be a shoe-aholic like me |
This is at the zoo for playgroup at the polar bear house |
She loves to put on my workout head bands |
This is the one place at the park that I don't have to be holding her |
