Growing Up
misty · Wed, Nov 4, 2015Some new developments:
Milo is looking at her feet now. She sits in her chair or lays on the ground and lifts up her legs. I see her staring at them for short spurts of time, and then she puts them down.
Tummy time: we still try to do tummy time a little bit every day, and lately she’s been very active. I set her on top of the boppy, and she tries to crawl right over the top! I also tried a few of the baby games from a book mom bought me. So she put her hands in some water while watching a rubber ducky float (she wasn’t really interested in the duck or the water; she just wanted to crawl over the boppy).
I sat Milo up and she watched me stack blocks and tip them over. Milo loves to sit up straight lately, so I ordered her a floor seat to help her sit. It should be here Friday.
Milo is making a lot of new and different noises these days. She talks more, and I think it sounds a lot like complaining. She’s not crying as much, and she’s replaced it with babbling and more controlled bursts of sound.
Perhaps the most exciting thing that happened today is that Milo deliberately touched my leg. I was wearing patterned leggings, and I sat on the ground next to where Milo was laying. She looked over at me and put her hand on my knee for a few minutes, passing it back and forth, really concentrating on the pattern and her hand. It was awesome!
