Week 20

The week of Thanksgiving was quite eventful!  We spent it at Zia's house this year, my very first thanksgiving dinner!  Vo, Tati, Uncle Serge, Shasha, Mimi, Uncle Jamie, Isabella, Giuliana, and Nicholas were of course in attendance.  We had a few extra special guests this year!  Daddy's cousins Harold and Henrique came from Florida to spend the holiday with us!  It was so nice to meet them!  They got me a super cool Dora the Explorer doll which I immediately placed into my mouth.  She had to be christened!  Harold and Henrique stayed at my house for a few days which was so great because I got to know them really well!  I did not have any stranger anxiety and took to them almost instantly!  While they were visiting, it snowed for the first time this year.  My very first snow!  

I am a very observant little girl and am accomplishing more and more by the minute!  I pick up toys that I see next to me and even drop the ones in my hands if I see something better come along.  Whenever I am chewing on something, sometimes I take it out of my mouth and study it before placing it back in my mouth for some more chewing.   I am actually bouncing in my Jumperoo now.  Before I would just sit in it!  I squeal in excitement as well as in fury.  Mommy says I sound like a teradactyl when I get upset!  She doesn't know which is worse, crying or the squealing in madness!  When Mommy puts me on my tummy, I still get upset but now I raise my butt in the air and squirm around.  At times it looks like I am on a surf board because I raise my arms and legs up in the air!  I am trying so hard to roll over but for now, all I can do is roll from side to side.  Smaller objects are in my sights these days so my parents have to be careful with what is lying around!

My Nonna says that I am a good baby.  Mommy and Daddy think so too!  Daddy sometimes blows into my face and I think that it is fun!  I am definitely ticklish as well....Mommy sometimes eats my stomach and neck and I giggle like crazy!  She had to be careful this week not to tickle me too much on the neck though because I developed a rash from all of the drooling that I have been doing!
