    ~Motor and Fine Development~
    I’m a scottin’ fool. I love to scoot and do the military crawl when I’m on my belly. I’m just a rockin’ and a rollin’ gal~but not quite crawling yet. I love to get up on all 4’s and rock and then I kind of crawl backwards. I get pretty far but not quite moving forward yet. I just started doing the whole military crawling thing too. I still love to jump; jumping is one of my favorite things to do. I really like to stand too, when I’m on the floor and mommy is sitting with me I always put my hands out and pull up on mommy to a standing position. I love when mommy puts a toy out far in front of me and I have to scoot to it-it’s fun.

    ~Food~
    Well, no more nursing for me. I just don’t want it anymore so mommy decided it had been long enough so I am getting the bottle now and it’s yummy. I started eating real solids!!! I have had bananas, sweet potatoes and squash and I love them all!!! Mommy also gave me a little taste of water and I drank it from my new sippy cup. I’m not too sure about it though; to tell you the truth I would rather chew on it then drink from it.

    ~Sleep~
    I still sleep about 10-12 hours at night and I don’t really need to be swaddled any more. I really like to sleep on my belly now that I can roll over. I love to play in my crib and crawl around in the morning before mommy gets me up, and I have figured out how to get between the bumper and the crib rail too, it’s really funny. I also take about two naps now during the day.

    ~Verbal Development~
    I have started to babble. I can babble ba-ba-ba, ma-ma-ma and da-da-da. Mommy and daddy think it’s so sweet when I do it. I love to squeal too. When daddy tickles me I scream really loud and laugh so hard!!! I laugh a lot more now and I love to squeal.

    ~Teeth~
    Still no teeth but I think they are coming soon. I drool everywhere and love to chew on things.

    ~Favorites~
    One of my favorite things to do is play with daddy. I love when he tickles me on the belly. I laugh and scream really loud and it is so much fun. I really love to play in the bath too. Mommy got me a big rubber ducky bathtub and it is so much fun and it even says quack quack quack when you press on his duckbill. One of my new favorite things is storytime at the library. They have this really cool storytime just for babies. I go with my friend Rylan and it is so much fun. We sing and dance and then read a really cool story-it is so much fun and I get to meet lots of babies like me there.
