What a terrible blog post title. Oh well. So Christmas week you really started moving forward with crawling. So early! Only technically 6 1/2 months old. I have 2 therapists, PT and OT who confirmed you are advanced for your age in motor skills and Speech says you are right on target with your baby sounds. I love it. You are on auto pilot and all I have to do is sit back. I can't believe it. Healthy babies are a snap compared with special needs delays. I know however, while your milestones come so early and so easy, we really got to celebrate Josie's so we're good all around, equally, doubly blessed!
Today you crawled under the baby swing -- over the first bar, under it completely, nibbled on the tag a bit, then over the second bar, then across the room. You instantly learned to sit from a crawling position, first try, and your stability is honestly better than Josie's. You look all over and when you begin to wobble you catch yourself with your awesome muscle tone. You make everything look so so soo easy. I think you have better balance than I do already.
My little Mary Therese. So sweet. Biggest baby grin, only likes mom and dad to hold you, and so adventurous and aware. You scope out a room top to bottom when we visit anything new.
My great breastfeeder. I know a lot of moms have mixed feelings over breastfeeding, but after going through what we went through with Josie and the feeling of loss particularly in that area, I have to say, I am IN love with breastfeeding much to my glee and gratefulness. I love feeding you so much and I love how you need me and want me when you bump your head, you cry until I pick you up then the cries die down suddenly as you snuggle into me suddenly forgetting your ouch. I love it but...
we did start solids. You're not too keen. We've tried all sorts of things anyway. Yogurt, oatmeal, cream of wheat, peas, squash, sweet potato. You don't seem to hate them per se, you just think its weird. But hey, it doesn't get into your nasal cavity when you eat so I'm sure you will love it shortly, no surgery needed! That I am so happy for.
Still a solid sleeper and such an easy baby. An absolute joy :)
