- Happy all the time unless she needs a bum change, is hungry or tired
- Holds "conversation" - goes back and forth with people "ahh goo", "ooh" and inflects her voice up and down
- Extends and locks her legs when she's having her bum changed, making it difficult to fasten the diaper
- Almost laughs, more a huge inhale and exhale, but it's a beautiful sound
- Sits up well with a little help
- Doesn't love tummy time, but holds her head up really well
- Loves to be held, but also loves her space on occasion - lays on the floor and talks to the ceiling
- Loves to watch TV - will crane her neck to watch and listen, no matter what's on!
- Found her hands! Sucks on her whole fist or a few fingers, drooling all over
- Goes cross-eyed staring at her hands and watches as she moves them
- Found her feet! Was wearing pants with monkeys on the feet and sat staring at them for several minutes, realizing she could move them
- Knows what she wants - won't eat until her bum has been changed
- Has learned to pull away when she's finished eating (and sometimes before!) which helps Mummy know when she's almost done
- Gets distracted easily while nursing and looks around, turning her head constantly (ouch!)
- Can't multi-task. She's either eating or pooping - never both
Teagan and I shared a
special moment on Tuesday, January 26th. I thought Teagan was
hungry, as she hadn’t eaten well previously and was trying to feed her. I was
getting a little bit frustrated and worried that she hadn’t eaten enough.
Teagan just looked up at me, as if to say “Don’t you know what I want?”, so I
decided to try to get her to sleep instead. Dummy in place, I laid down with
Teagan in the crook of my arm and she just stared into my eyes. We laid there
for a good 10 minutes, just looking at eachother. I started to cry, because she’d
never sat so still for so long and just looked at me. It’s hard to describe how
wonderful I felt, just looking into the face of this beautiful baby that I’d
waited so long for. I’ve heard it said that when you become a parent, you get a
little glimpse of how Heavenly Father feels, and it had never been so real to
me as in that moment.
