Can anyone make this stop? She is growing so fast. Just this weekend I was explaining to her that she used to fit perfectly on my chest and would just cuddle me and snuggle. Now she is on the move, she can’t be held down for more than a few minutes. I am so excited and slightly heartbroken at the same time!

This week BB Likes:

• Crawling (or scooting)
• Smiling
• Reading stories
• Waving at people
• Clapping
• R’s food dish
• Screaming
• Crawling off the bed and couch (into our arms don’t get too worked up about our parenting)
• Her friends, or any other babies for that matter
• Showing off her new skills
• Eating, she has been a lot more interested in food lately, just not peas
• Down time, so she can play and do baby stuff
• Chewing on her fingers
• Showing off how strong she is
• Anything that makes noise (future drummer?)

She doesn’t really like:

• Being held in one spot too long
• When you take anything away from her
• When dad goes to work
• The old lady at the gym, she cried so hard they sent someone to come get me to save her…
• Being stuck inside, I can tell she is like her dad and needs to get out and do stuff every day or she goes stir crazy

New things she can do:

• She is now starting to balance on her side and hold it there, I am thinking in preparation to learning to go from crawling to sitting?
• She is scooting great now, she is definitely mobile
• Waving and clapping are getting better every day

Favorite toys:

• We got her a toy that lights up and sings songs but also helps her work on crawling by rolling all over the floor, she likes it a lot but gets frustrated when it keeps rolling away from her.
