AB Milestones

AB is waving to her sister and daddy and trying to say da da. It is so cute to watch her try things and then see the sheer pleasure in her eyes when she succeeds, and when she sees that we understand what she is trying to communicate. She also LOVES the tv remote and the phone. She doesn't want pretend ones. She wants the real ones, the ones that mommy and daddy use.

AB is also making me a liar. Since she began eating solids, fruits have not been her favorite. In fact, she usually declines to eat any further once fruit, any fruit is being served. So I mentioned this to her daycare provider who hadn't noticed this. And guess what! Now she likes the fruits - no problem with them whatsovever. Granted we did give her cranberry chutney over the thanksgiving holiday. That could have made her rethink her take on apples and blueberries. We did get excellent faces from the tart cranberry though. But she's also given me a very similar face for avocado which seems mild in comparison to me.

She is also starting to sleep longer by herself. Once again, I was whining to someone about how she has yet to really sleep very long on her own. Ususally she rolls over, wakes up and realizes that she is alone and the crying begins. She is a much fussier baby than her older sister was. DD never gave me this much trouble that I remember. It could be that she as the older and only child at the time never needed to resort to crying and fussing so. In any event, AB is now, for the last two days, sleeping 3+ hours by herself, on her own. Yippeee ! (but also sad, because this means that she is growing up and away from me).
