Mae Day Monday: Week 37

This week:

More toothless teething.

She is slowly gaining mobility but mainly just accidental. Trying to crawl leads to screams of frustration. Somebody may have a bit of a temper.

Is getting ticklish and loves to laugh.

Playing with: anything that plays music! A Sesame Street saxophone toy has been playing non stop. We are all walking around singing, "play it again!" In our very best Cookie Monster voice.

Mae Day Monday: Week 36

This week:

She is babbling at an alarming rate and everything she says has such conviction. Her mouth is saying "Gah hah baa gah," but her eyes and her hands are saying, "I have an idea for peace in Israel and also my diaper is wet."

Holy separation anxiety, Batman. She loves playing by herself- provided I in sight in the same room. Just disappearing to get a glass of water is producing quite the hysterics.

Loves: cottage cheese and drinking water from a cup

Playing with: her Goodnight Moon bunny and a little zebra toy

Mae Day Monday: Week 35

This week:

She has become such a mimic. My favorite is that if you look at her and cough, she will give the tiniest fakest cough right back.

Trying to get places. This is a first. She has always been content to look and observe but lately she has been more interested in getting to what she is looking at. She has thus far only succeeded in wiggling in a circle.

Loves mango and daddy's ribs!

Mae Day Monday: Week 34

Little Miss Stubborn has finally deigned to roll over onto her tummy. She has been pushing herself to keep from rolling all the way over. I talked about it with her Dr an he said she was fine and developing fine but just being stubborn about it because he hasn't found being on her tummy useful yet.

On Saturday morning while playing on the floor she just flipped over with no effort at all and has been a rolling machine ever since.

Loves watermelon and butternut squash. The butternut squash may be her favorite thing. She stuffs it into her cheeks until she can not fit any more and then gives you the prettiest orange smile!

Mae Day Monday: Week 33

She has found her volume button and turned it up. She has enjoyed screaming and screeching but now it is SCREAMING. If she didn't give you the biggest smiles whilst doing it then it would be really annoying.

She had her first appointment with her new pediatrician and is in great health and on the US vaccine schedule.

Is getting used to how the US operates and being in her carseat much more. She still prefers being chauffeured in her stroller though.

Got to play with all her cousins an thinks they are awesome!

Holds her arms out to be picked up.

Loves zucchini and raspberries. (Mike told her that she was made up of about 25% raspberry since I ate so many while I was pregnant with her!)

Mae Day Monday: Week 32

This week:

Not the best week of her 32 as she came down with the virus/cold/whatever that we have been passing around the family which resulted in her first ear infection and some looong days.

She is on the mend but still a little stuffy. She is frustrated with her snotty nose and will pretend that she wants a hug an cuddle and then rub her face on you using your shirt as a hankie. Then she looks up at you and smiles in thanks while you go change shirts.

Cauliflower and hamburger were big hits this week.
