A few things have occurred in January 2010 that I never would have guessed. Ryanne eats raw spinach - stems only. Ryanne likes rap, in particular a song by "Naughty by Nature"...she started to sing "hey, hoooo, hey, hoooo"...I will try desperately to get that on video.
We have switched into her next shoe size. She was wearing five's, and the six's look like clown shoes, but I think her foot is about a 5.5. She was hesitant, as she was pretty attached to her pink ones. Luckily her mommy has navy chuck taylors as well, which helped ease her into them.
Ryanne has become quite observant and creative in her mind. She looked on the ceiling while getting a new diaper, and said "pup pup", as she pointed to the ceiling. I was confused at first, as "pup pup", the blankie she fancies most, was at my feet. She was referring to the shadow of stripes on the ceiling that reminded her of pup pup. Its wonderful seeing the world through her eyes.
She is being quite polite too. Saying bye bye to her poo poo (something I NEVER thought I would say) and "hello Egypt" as I explained to her a place to her on the map. She is learning things on her own that we am not even teaching her. Quite the sponge these days. =)
Finley is sitting well in her bumbo chair. I knew this would happen eventually, but already? Its helpful during dinnertime for example, but I cannot believe how fast she is sprouting. She is also drooling and chewing on everything. I remember Ryanne started 'teething' at this age too. I gave her a really cold carrot to put her gums on, and she seemed to like it alot.
A few other noteworthy things includes Ryanne nursing her stuffed animals. She lifts her shirt and cradles the animals, then flips them over and says "other side". It is so precious. She is also making complete sentences. It was quite articulate when she told me the "crayon pushes on paper to draw". (of course!!) Finley smiles so hard she can't smile anymore...she seems to be a happy baby when she is NOT sick. Unfortunately she has had 4 colds in 3.5 months. She still won't take a bottle (urgh), and hates the car seat, but makes up for it with her cool personality and raspberries that she blows. I have also booked mt first cooking class in February-getting back to teaching seems daunting but I'm excited!
And a few other photos from our neighborhood walks with daddy. We have missed the snowy season, but have tried to take advantage of the mild winter. Hope I don't eat my words when it snows in April.
