our baby girl is 8 months old.
sidenotes: 1) emily chose this photo 2) when alasdair commented to emily that adara's shirt looked like a kimono, emily started calling her a "kimono dragon" 3) note our unfinished cabinets in the background. hopefully someday soon we will be done living out of boxes.
these days adara likes to:
sit up to play. her favorite game is to take all the toys out of a basket, also loves the music table. starting to stand while supported.
eat. especially corn & sweet potatoes. where a jar of baby food often lasted a emily a day or two, adara eats 4-6 per day, in addition to nursing 4 times.
wave. she loves to wave at mom, dad & emily, but will also engage total strangers. she made a lot of friends at ikea this weekend.
talk. all the time. combinations of ya ba da ma ga. if she wants your attention she will grunt or cough and bang her hands on her lap until you look.
she's learning to give kisses. (ie lean her face against mine and laugh delightedly)
we've learned that she does not like to be hot! after some nighttime battles, we realized we'd been dressing her too warmly. on a hot night it's not unusual for big sister to be sleeping in full length PJ's and a blanket, while baby sister is in just a onesie. guess which one spent her first months in a philadelphia summer, and which in a NH winter. :)
just trying to savor her baby-hood!
