-she is LOUD! containing the happy shrieks is almost harder than quieting the sad cries. She just has this high-pitched loud yell that she does. I'm glad she's happy but.. take it down a notch girl.
-she is so messy. It makes me so sad... she has the cutest outfits and by the end of the day they are almost ruined with spit up... food.. drool... anything she can get her little hands on. She definitely doesn't mind being dirty or making a mess and i just can't seem to keep her clean! I've kinda just given up on it. "Resolve" stain remover has become my lifesaver.
-She crawls everywhere and pulls herself up on everything. Her favorite things to stand with are her toy basket, her walker toy and our kitchen stools or people's fingers. But she'll take anything.
-She cruises around holding onto things. She can also walk by herself pushing her little walker. She's getting really good at pushing it and walking behind it.
-Her first tooth poked out on May 5th. It is her upper right side one. It took forever to get it out of those gums! She's had some rough days and moments, baby tylenol and baby oragel have been our friends. And so far she's stayed sleeping through the night, just not as good of naps. She got three within two weeks: the bottom two and one top one, and then a week later her other top one broke through so she has four total, with more closely on the way i'm sure. Her top tooth that she got first is getting really big. We call it her snaggletooth (which will be cute for a few months until it becomes not cute at all if it keeps growing like that).
-She's in between baby food and normal food now and she always wants to feed herself with her fingers. I'm trying to get creative because she has gotten a little picky. She loves her oatmeal in the morning.. she would have oatmeal for every meal if i let her. (She gets that from me) She also loves sweet potatoes and pizza and her baby cheeto snacks.
-She now uses a "big girl binkie" (instead of the soothie kind) we switched while she was teething because she just seemed to like the different shape better.
- She is very cautious when it comes to trying new things, like letting go of fingers to stand by herself or move around. She is also cautious with big groups of people she doesn't know as well. She gets a little scared and has to warm up to it first. Then she usually does ok. Sometimes she'll have an outburst when she realizes someone she doesn't know is holding her. With teething she became very clingy (which of course i secretly loved). However she loves other kids. They make her giggle and get excited. She wants to touch them and climb on them and would probably slobber all over them if i let her.
-On the other side of that though, she can also be wild and aggressive. Once she does something and likes it, she wants to do it all the time over and over again and she loves it. She gets a little bit aggressive with people sometimes and just wants to grab everything. She is a climber and if you are laying on the floor.. she will have her way climbing all over you.
-Some things she likes to do everyday around the house are: play with the doors. She likes to open and close them, we caught her doing it to our bedroom door the other day and she was chasing that door like it was her job! She also likes to pull herself up on her dresser knobs and open the drawers and pull all her clothes out. Getting dressed is definitely an ordeal. I can put a pair of pants on a crawling child backwards in record time.
-I truly love her more and more everyday. I know that sounds so cliche and obvious but the little moments i have with her throughout the day make me just want to kiss her all over she is just the cutest thing to me. I love being her mommy. Every night before we go to bed i go in and check on her and every night i have to convince myself not to just crawl in her crib with her and snuggle her all night. And then i have to convince Paul not to scoop her up and bring her in bed with us. Seriously, every night we have that conversation.
