Back to work (cont.)

The last whole post was about Grace so this one I will dedicate to Charlotte. She is not doing too much new. She is cruising around the floor but technically she is scooting and moving up and down and not fully crawling but I think it counts. She is trying to get to furniture and loves standing but not on her own yet either. I feel like Charlotte knows how fast Grace did things and in her head she thinks, "When I get there, I get there. I'm not in a hurry!" She is constantly stopping to wave at us and seems to be teething although there are no teeth that I can see. She has been sticking out her tongue which is adorable along with everything else she does. She gets so excited when she sees food or a bottle and starts yelling and making noises. She cries if she sees a bottle and then doesn't see it again for a minute.

Hm... what else? She has started to put her feet in her mouth and likes to hold the bottle with her feet too. She actually will put anything in her mouth and today crawled over to Grace and started sucking on her toe. Grace thought it was hilarious. I looked over and was disgusted! Hopefully she will be immune from germs because she is obviously getting many in her mouth. Ugh.

She is continuing to add more new foods to her diet. She is eating regular grapes, peaches, and cantelope amongst the other real food she has had. She can pick up food with two fingers sometimes. Other times, she shoves her whole hand in her mouth to get what she is trying to eat. She has learned sign language for more and is using the motion during meals which is awesome. It looks a little like her clapping but she makes the mmm sound at the same time. Next, I guess we should teach her all done but she never seems to be. She loves eating!

The last thing I think that is new is that she is learning parts of the face. she likes pointing to my nose so far. I'll have to start working on the other parts, although I would rather not get my eye poked out.

That's all. Back to work tomorrow. Ugh!
