Wow, it's official, we have been a family of three for the majority of a year! Time really does fly.
The scientist in me has been extrapolating, here is what I figure: If the first 6 months seemed like 6 weeks then she should be 18 years old in 6weeks/26weeks=0.23 18years x 0.23= 4.14 years=4years 7weeks 1day & 8 hours!!!! AND if what everyone tells me is true and the time goes even faster once they get older then I had better really cherish these baby days huh???
I must admit that I am writing this post way way late so I wont coment much on milestones--there will be alot of description for 8 months since that was what I was going to start today (early) when I realized I forgot last month.
She is starting to eat her solid foods a bit better, so far she has not rejected anythign we have tried: sweet potatoes, rice cereal, carrots, spinach, squash. I have been making her baby food thus far and it is pretty easy.
She loves to jump in her jumpee or now in her excersaucer as she is strong enough to make it bounce up and down. She is also a pro at sitting up and leaning to get what she wants though she will take a tumble while doing this still at times. On a funny note she also loves to be on Daddy's shoulders, it gives her a nice viewpoint plus she loves to lick his head while grabbing his face and ears to hold on; it's adorable.
One of her favorite thigns is to be outside, she especially likes to swing on our front porch and if the wind blows she opens her mouth like she is trying to taste it. Another thing she loves to do is take a bath, she will also open her mouth and catch the water sprays. She splashes alot and smiles. She will drink as much of the water as you will let her. I have been trying to make sure to dribble water down her face alot so she will get used to it (making bath time much easier) and so she will like the water and not be afraid of it--she does great, blinks her eyes or rubs them and keeps on smiling and playing. She also loves the kiddie pool, I have even used it in the kitchen one day with a pitcher of water in it so I could get some work done in there, that with a few dishes thrown in and she floated them around and splashed for over an hour (with a splash radius of about a foot which I wasnt expecting!).
She also really has 'awakened' to the dogs. Before she was occasionally noticing them and liking them. Now she always seems to be on the lookout for them. She will scream and scream is she sees them walk past, utnil they come up to her then she will smile and usually pull away because they are inevitably licking her in teh face. They are very good with her, seh is also starting to tug, pull, and poke them in the face and they never bat an eye--even when I saw her sticking her little finger into their eyes, Sachi moved her face and licked Lillian (good distraction technique).
that is all for this months edition of Lillian's world
since I posted her 6 month pictures last time and I dont have 7 back yet here are some snap shots.
