She has finally figured it out. Toys are not only for kicking and grabbing-they are also for sticking in her mouth. Alternately, she LOVES to suck on her fist or palm or whatever part of her hand she can jam in her mouth. Combined with all the drool and bubbles she is making, it makes for alot of mouth wiping and giggles. No soothers though, those she just spits out. But beware, if you get your hand or arm near her mouth, she'll latch on before you know what's happened.
Wil has been working hard on her "training". This is their quality time while I make dinner or take a minute to relax. It consists of a bit of flying, brief periods of standing and then "sitting up like a big girl" on Daddy's knee. Oh, and a WHOLE lot of giggling for everyone involved.
It has been really amazing to watch Lola change over the past few weeks. She no longer wants to nestle in our chest to fall asleep and " high shoulder perch" has been mostly replaced by the lower face out "hip ride" so that she can move all her arms and legs while looking at everything around her. She loves to watch the Baby Mozart DVD( many thanks to Heather for this!), she loves to sit for stories and she loves to sit up on our knees and wobble her head around. I am constantly amazed at each new thing she learns. As I packed away another batch of newborn clothes this evening that no longer fit, I realized that everything "they" say is true: babies change and grow up fast. Through all poopy diapers, sniffles, crying jags and middle of the night wakings, I love her more each day. She is an endless source of delight and laughter for Wil and I. She's good, ( mostly) clean fun.
