Still No Teeth

She still has no teeth folks.  I can’t decide if that is a blessing or a curse.  At this moment though, ridding her little body of eczema is the first priority.  So far so good, I think.  We are only in day two.  One thing I have learned is that she will more easily swallow fish oil that flavored Benadryl.  Now I just have to work on getting her to take the probiotic. 

Fussy Budget

Missy Girl is asserting herself all over the place.  She is in that “fussy right before I can crawl” stage.  She gets mad when she drops a toy or a toy is out of reach.  She gets mad if she was playing with something and I take her away.  If she was playing the piano with her brother and I carry her with me to check on dinner…well, that is unacceptable - she was having a good time and was not done yet!!  There is also the “don’t you set me down” fussy and the “don’t you both leave me here alone in this room” fussy.  There is the “I want that leaf/grass/chokable object  back” fussy.  And the list goes on.  She is still her jovial self for the most part, but she is quick to show her dissatisfaction with something.

Crawltastic

Almost.  She can spin 360 degrees and can scooch all over the place.  She is a natural at going backwards and is most distressed when she hits a wall.   My favorite is when she is sitting near me and hurls her body on my legs trying to crawl into my lap. That is uber cute!  I have to enjoy it especially because once this kid is mobile, I feel like I might be losing my snugglebunny a little bit.  She is going to want to bo down and doing her thing.  Part of me is looking forward to it and part of me is sad.

Babble and her Musical Inclinations

Okay, I swear I have heard her say “mama”, “dada”, and “ty ty”. She has the cutest babble and talks so much.  These sounds are still my absolute favorite.  I also swear that she sings!!  She adores music and anything she can shake - shaker eggs, bells, etc.  The other day she was tapping one of Tyler’s kitchen pans with a wooden spoon and looking super pleased with herself.

One Nap and Sleep

She seems to be down to one afternoon nap now which is pretty early, but works so well for us.  Ultimately, we have our morning adventure, come home and get her down for a nap, Tyler and I have our one-on-one time and then we do our afternoon errands/adventures when she wakes up.  Whle it doesn’t always work out this way, this seems the usual these days.  Her sleep is still pretty good and I can’t complain.  She wakes more in the early evening, so I am less inclined to go out as much as I did.  I don’t give her anything right now as she usually has one big wake up and then crashed back out.

More To Say, But

I feel like I need to enter more updates about her, but I really have to go to bed.  I am so exhausted and staying up late is a plain stupid thing to do.  My job won’t be any easier tomorrow so the best thing I can do is get me some sleep!!  More updates and pics to come!

These pictures are from a photo shoot in front of the fridge.  I put her in a laundry basket in front of Tyler’s magnet farm.  She was having such a good time and I love almost every photo.  You will probably see more to come!
