Naomi Grows and Grows
Jul. 23rd, 2009 10:51 amNo new pictures yet-still need to upload them and some video from our trip.
We did have check up yesterday...
29 inches, 18 lbs 13 oz. She hasn't quite fallen off the growth charts yet, but she's way down near the bottom. No worries...she's consistent, but small.
She's very close to running, is putting things in other things, uses a cup well, drinks from a straw, uses signs and words, has begun climbing into things like the laundry basket (but not up the shelves or onto the couch,) likes chasing the cats and swimming. She's starting to use a fork and spoon by herself (she's pretty consistent if it's pre-loaded by an adult, but we're trying to encourage her to do some of it on her own...when eating mashed potatoes, for example.) She's started to enjoy putting things in other things-for example, putting blocks in a plastic container and shaking it to see what noise it makes, or putting things into a metal tin. Her nesting blocks have become more fun-yesterday she was putting them together and taking them apart and then dropping her crackers into the block and taking them out. She also loves child-sized chairs and sitting in them. I need to find her some nice chairs for the house. I'm also thinking when we move bedrooms around, I might look for a child sized chair and table for her room, or the "playroom."
As I'm typing this, she's taken her bowl of pretzels, dumped it out onto the table, put all he pretzels back into the bowl, shaken it to see what noise it made, then dumped them all on the floor.
More pictures and maybe video when I get things uploaded. I kind of hope we've got video or pictures of Naomi with the baby goats we visited when we were in New York.
