Wow!! Today was a very eventful day. We went to visit our friends in Ky (2hrs drive) and Jadyn slept for the whole 2hrs in the car!! Then she is all smiley for our friends and their little children. Then she's just giving kisses to the little boy (10yrs) and keeps on smiling at everyone & cooing and trying to talk. They swear she was saying "hi" :lol: Lunch time, she takes the sippy cup and actually drinks from it, even with the spout that is hard to get liquid out (no-spill)!!!! I was amazed she did it like she's done it her whole life. LOL!! Then she crawled, moving her knees one in front of the other!!! I thought it was a mistake so I moved the toy she was trying to get to, and she did it again!! Not lunging, not cheating by scooting or rolling, just plain CRAWLING!!! Ok. So then at the same time in between, she gets on her hands and puts her butt up in the air, like she was trying to stand from crawling position! So she pulls up on daddy's tummy and actually stood. By this point, I'm just floored. She did this for almost 30mins, non stop. She did so well at our friends' house that they were so amazed how happy & content she was. She did give me a little hard time going down for her 2nd nap, so I put her in my trusty sling and she was out in 2mins. I laid her down on their bed and checked in after an hour and she was sitting up playing with the paci, looking very rested like she had a great nap.
I've been doing the signs, just 'milk', 'done', 'kiss', 'more' and 'gentle'. She just smiles at me when I do them. But when I do the 'kiss' sign, she opens her mouth and kisses me. Oooohhhh I could just eat her up. She did it while we were there and just kept on kissing me, even though I was doing it like 5 or 6 times.
Sharon - So sorry it's so crazy right now for you. When Jadyn does that rocking on all fours, I have to let her get it out of her system. :roll: Sometimes it can be as long as 30mins til she finally gets all tired out. As for food, I'm finally figuring out that she likes to eat food that is cut up in small pieces, not all purreed. I gave her peaches chopped up and bananas cut up and she loved it.
Phoebe - I give her pear juice with water mixed in it and she seems to like it. On the ears, she just grabs it and tries like she's knocking it off, like pulling it off. That's horrible about her ears bleeding. :cry: I could hardly work the first couple of times I left her but it does get a little easier. You get to look forward to coming home and giving her all the kisses.
Nathan's mom - Jadyn definitely let's me know when she's not happy, like when I move something away from her or try to change her diaper. She slams her arms and legs down like she's throwing a fit. I have to just laugh because it's soo cute. :lol: I know this is the only way she can communicate!! :lol:
Pete's mom - I hope your trip to Vegas goes well. And I wouldn't worry much about people on the plane. He is just a baby after all and it's a short flight, right? I bet he will do just fine.
Hope you're all enjoying the weekend.
