This path month she managed to hit many milestones all at once.
Milestone 1
She crawls!
I thought she might do this early. She loves floor time and since she was little little she's been working on her mad skills.
Then at 6 months week 3 -she decided she was going to take off!
Now she is our little explorer. And our kitty chaser. Lets just say Evey is a little more careful and watchful these days.
She does the army crawl, the normal crawl, the sit crawl, sit crawl crawl and the bear crawl which is her favorite. This one is where she's on her hands and feet and it looks like she's practicing her yoga moves. This one also scares me because it looks as though its the strp inbetween pulling up and full on walking! eeek
Milestone 2
She not only says Dada now, but Mama!
Hooray -I am Loved too!
Not that I think she loves me less, but Miss Claire simply adores her dada. The excitement that takes over her when she see him coming home for lunch or at the end of the day would make anyone smile.
I love that she loves him so and that God picked her out the perfect Daddy.
So back to me! Haha
She usually says mama when she is away from me or wants me to come and pick her up or be close to her. its just nice to know it has become an everyday word she uses. This makes me happy.
Milestone 3
Her first tooth has emerged!
Her bottom left tooth has made it's way out. Yay!
She's been a pretty clingy and a fussy teether. She wants me to hold her more and just be soothed by her mama. She is also a big drooler. So far we've used teething rings, the sofie giraffe, a cold washcloth, a leather strap, her pacifiers for chewing(finally she uses them for something), and cold teethers. I also put a couple drops of clove oil into 2 tbsp olive oil. I put it in an amber dropper bottle and I will rub a little on her gums to help numb it. She is also wearing her amber necklace so yep we are pretty much ready to take on this teething experience. Bring on those chompers!
Milestone 4
She has graduated to more solid foods. I have started mixing different foods. But right now she is really into a banana in the morning. She just kind of gnaws on it. She really loves her mum mums, crackers and little pieces if toast.. And she is doing the stage 2 baby food. Her favorite baby foods come in the squeeze out containers. she really like the plum organic ones.
Plus those puff snacks are like kid crack. She can not get enough!
