Growing Fast, Not Walking YET
Figured an update is in order as the last 2 posts were only pictures. Amélia only has 3 teeth, the 2 bottom & 1 top (not center). She's getting very brave and has tried to stand on her own a couple times in the last few days. She has no trouble standing, hardly rocks, then Mommy says something to get Papa's attention & Mealie notices she's standing and panics, sits down really fast, and sometimes cries. Amélia has taken to standing against the screen door, and even with all of our coaxing her away she stands there, licking the screen. (We've stopped her many times, she does it as soon as we turn)
I have recently brought to the livingroom a toy that Amélia hasn't seen before. It's a little toy bench, plays music & wheels on it spin. Amélia has figured out how to turn the music on & off, she loves the toy! Jasper came over yesterday and the two kidlets took turns shoving the bench back & forth between the two of them.
Amélia has turned into a little begger too. LoL At any meal if Mommy or Papa sit down at the table, Mealie sits in her highchair at the end of the table, she gives a shrill squeal if we have food but hers is already gone (usually on the floor). She's eatting well now. Cereal in the morning, something for lunch (fruit, meat, veggies), a snack late afternoon (usually grapes) and supper. She's also been having baby food at around 7pm for supper (we have a ton of jarred baby food in the cupboard) and then when Papa gets home from work (8:30-9) and we're eatting supper, Mealie joins us & eats some more! She's still nursing, after breakfast (before her morning nap), at her afternoon nap, before supper (depending how late it's getting) and before bed. She loves food, but she loves nursing, and as long as she's gaining well & still interested in eatting we see no need to wean her. She likes water and apple juice occasionally, but breastfeeding is her main source of beverage (LoL for lack of a better word).
We have started brushing Mealie's teeth & gums. In the morning when Mommy gets ready for the day, Mealie sits on the bathroom cupboard & we brush her teeth. It's made fun by playing "Get the Plaque Bugs" (basically making a big deal about brushing the teeth makes it so Mealie is more open with me shoving a plastic stick in her mouth). At night we try brushing teeth before bed, but it doesn't always pan out. We also have a bath ring so Amélia can sit up in the tub, she doesn't like her baths at all right now (screams bloody murder) so I'm not sure if the ring is better than the sling or not. LoL On the up side, Amélia is getting some more hair, to the point where it needs combing out in the back after her baths or it looks like a fuzzy rats nest.
