Week 31

I love when Dada comes home from work.  Sometimes Mommy hears him coming up the stair before I do and says, "Is that Dada?"  I get excited just hearing the word Dada!   I can say dada, mama, uhma, ba, and wa.  But I don't really have a clue what I am talking about.  I do talk A LOT! Daddy says that I am just like my mother!  

I started walking in a walker at Nonna's.  Mommy saw me in it and decided she had to get me one so she made Dada go with her the very next day.  I love it!  But boy does it make me super tired after being in it for an hour!  

When Mama and Dada put their fingers in front of me, I grab them and pull myself up to my feet!  How talented!  The Baby Einstein video (especially the Beethoven one) is fantastic.  When its time to go night night, I cry because they turn it off!  I enjoy playing with the blinking eyes of a doll.  My pointer finger likes to poke at it over and over again.  Rolling the tongue is also a new thing that I am doing as well!

Week 30

Mommy is amazed by me every week.  I learn how to do something new.  It boggles her mind that I learn it without anything being modeled.  I just do it!   I can now grab the edge of the high chair table and pull myself up.  When Daddy or Mommy tried to put me into my high chair or Jumperoo and I don't want to be in it, I put myself into the swan dive position where my legs are tight together and pointed backwards.  It makes it impossible for them to put me down!   When Mommy places my play mirror in my lap, I like to bend all the way down and look at myself.   I love holding my own bottle now but when I don't feel like drinking anymore, I throw it away onto the ground.  

Some things I like to do now include watching Sesame Street(Elmo and Abby are my favorites), hands grabbing my face, Mommy or Daddy chasing me and saying, "I am going to get you!", and biting down on Mommy's nipples.  Mommy has decided that it is time to stop breastfeeding!

Weeks 28-29

There are a lot of things that I just love these days.  I love when Daddy and Mommy blow in my face!  I get really excited and giggle.  It feels so nice!  Strangers are not so scary anymore.  After staring at them for a few minutes, I will smile and raise my eyebrows in interest.  I am learning to ham it up and use my cuteness to get what I want!  I have always loved my parents but now I reach for them and hold on tight!  My pacifier is of course one of my first loves.   Now I know how to turn it around to get the right side of it in my mouth.   The book, Tails, is one of my all time favs now.  Daddy says I am advanced because I can read with my hand.  I like to grab at the different textures in the book over and over again!

I got my first cold ever.  Cranky, tired, and totally not hungry.  I even threw up a few times.  Miserable!  I got over it all in about a week.  I forgot about my cold when Tia Inez came to visit from Brazil.  She was so nice and I liked her immediately.  Vo, Inez, and Tati picked me up from Nonna's house and we went galavanting around the mall.   We also went to Vo's house and hung out with Dada's whole family!  Fun times!
