week 17.

  • laughs out loud when i tickle her. it's not really the tickling that makes her laugh, though. i think it's my nose nuzzling her rib cage and my frenzied "koochie koochie koo!" that she finds funny.
  • is still not sleeping particularly well. she's up every 2 hours or so at night. by 5:30 in the morning i can't function or get out of bed, so JR is now responsible for her until he leaves for work.
  • she's a pro at tummy time, holding her head up really high. she's now starting to use her feet a bit more to propel herself forward just a bit.
  • her new favorite toy is a red doggy from her great-grandparents. it has crinkly ears she likes to crumple, a bone she can chew on, and a nose that barks when it's pressed.
  • she can reach up when she's lying on her back to accurately grab and pull at her toys hanging from the thunder-dome.
  • learning to soothe herself by sucking on her hand/fingers. this helps to get her to nap on her own.
  • this is nothing new, but the sheer excitement she shows when she sees me is absolutely delightful. when i pick her up from her chair/swing/thunder-dome she gives me this huge smile and kicks her feet crazily. it totally makes me swoon with happiness!
  • she seems to be losing interest in the swing.

Oh my goodness. Her hair is so long! She looks more like a little girl and less like a baby in this picture. Wow. She's growing so fast!
