February Memories
This month we watched Michaela get so close to crawling. She pulls up on her hands and knees, rocks forward and back, and then collapses. She does slither in circles on her tummy to get to all her toys so she is somewhat mobile. She also occasionally lunges forward from a sitting position, but usually lands on her face instead of going to her hands and knees:) At the end of the month, she pulled to standing when she was sitting on mom's lap playing the piano toy. On the verbal front, Michaela clearly said ma ma as her first word. I say "clearly" because I have been hearing it since January but others didn't interpret it the same way. Michaela got 3 freckles this month! I wonder if she will be a freckly child like her mom and dad were? She also went to her first Duke basketball game and her first Duke baseball game. She was content and curious at both. At eight months, she measured 17 lbs. 2 oz. (37%) and 26.25 inches (37%).
January Memories
Michaela really improved her sitting in January. She began to sit unassisted while manipulating toys all around her. One of our favorite games was to put all her small toys in the red bucket so she could take them out one by one, "taste" them, pass them from hand to hand, and sometimes "throw" (drop, roll, whatever:)) them. Another favorite game is "the elevator". Sean holds her under the butt so she is sitting in his hands, and then he raises and lowers her to different heights while she giggles. This is great flying time for Michaela, who is a real dare devil like her mom. It's also a good shoulder workout for her dad! Michaela also loves her Einstein jumper. She naps especially well after tiring herself out jumping. Michaela started solids at the end of December so in January she tried a bunch of new food. She actually liked all her vegetables and most fruits (except for apples and bananas surprisingly). At 7 months she measured 16 lbs. 3 oz (36%) and 26 inches (46%)
