You guys....this girl is so much fun.

| Also? This picture was from like two weeks ago - possibly posted on here already, ha - so I clearly need to take more pictures of her. Funny how times change as they get older! |
Life for us right now is all about walking, trying to run, climbing, playing, moving, yelling, etc etc. Her little world is suddenly a whole lot more accessible to her, which makes everything very EXCITING! Haha. Obviously with these new experiences for her comes some different (and new) struggles for us, but overall it's been so fun seeing her grow up and change before my eyes.
Here's some of her new developments:
- Walking everywhere
- Climbing
- Saying "hi" "bye" "mom" "dog" (at least, sounds like she's saying these things! Who knows, could just be random sounds)
- Throws her ball to you - she's got a good arm on her!
- Plays peek-a-boo
- Favorite Book - Furry Friends (she can "pet" the fur in the book)
- Favorite Foods - broccoli and peas
- She doesn't really have any favorite toy or item, like a blankie or stuffed animal. At least not any item that belongs to her! She loves the remote and car keys
- Favorite place to play is the bathroom, by far - we didn't install child locks on the drawers in there cause there's nothing really harmful so naturally that's her favorite spot to pull everything out!
- Loves toothbrushes
- Recently started "eating" apples - she loves to sit and chew/suck on apples. It's the funniest thing. At first I worried about her taking a big bite or chunk out but she never has, it's almost like she just likes sucking the juice out of it. Funny but a little frustrating when I just want to eat one cause then she whines the whole time I eat it if I don't give it to her!
We're still dealing with some sleep issues - she's still rarely sleeping through the night. I honestly have no idea how this got started, what I did that contributed to it continuing for so long, or really even how to break it. We've tried lots of things, like later bedtimes, early bedtimes, cry it out, chiropractic adjustments (still in the process of those). We've seen the best results with early bedtimes and cry it out but those are not foolproof methods that work every single night, so we're just doing what we can as we go along.
It's looking like the next big milestone will be her words - forming sentences, growing her vocabulary, etc. I'm pretty excited for this, it will be nice for her to be able to tell me what she wants rather than crying or whining! Can I get an amen :)
