Fast forward eight months and here we are. We are all adjusting to our still-new family of four status. But, it's hard to imagine what things were like without our baby girl. I know Jeremy would say that it was a lot quieter!
Here are some of things that our Raleigh-girl has been up to this past month.
- Likes: kisses; watching people dance or do cheers; doing anything that big kids are doing; being carried around while you do chores (all the time would be preferable, though)
- Dislikes: Being left on the floor or in her crib while you are trying to get stuff done (like blogging); people wearing sunglasses
- Skills: She's getting really good at picking up small foods and getting them into her mouth. She can bang two toys together. She's a crawling champ and likes to pull up to her knees using the coffee table or whatever is close by. She is also babbling a lot more.
- Food: I introduced yogurt and cheese this month. The yogurt is a big hit. I think she's still trying to figure out the cheese. She's only had shredded bits so I think a little cube might go over much better. She's eating almost all fruits and veggies - at least the ones that I can think of or that are in season. I also gave her some couscous mixed in with her veggie baby food. She likes it even though it takes a while to get all those little couscous bits chewed up and swallowed.
- Sizes: She's moved on to the size 3 diaper. I can hardly believe it. I found a stash of leftover newborn nappies and got a little teary thinking about how she is growing so quickly.
It has been so fascinating to watch Raleigh's personality emerge, especially these past few weeks. I sometimes try to imagine what she will be like next year or in 5 years. I don't know what it will be like, but I do know that we will have lots of fun on the way.
Lots of hugs and kisses to my sweet baby girl!

Are you talking about that same baby that cries incessantly?
She sounds wonderful, Moms can block out the crying so easy :)
