It seems like there are so many little things happening so fast. Every day I feel like I say "Guess what she did today?" Some of them make my heart melt because she knows I'm her mommy. About two weeks ago she made the decision to sit up. I say it that way because it seems like there wasn't much: sit her up, watch her tip over, sit her up again, watch her tip over. It seems like one day I sat her up and she just stayed there. She's so happy to sit and play and reach. . and talk. She is very noisy. She likes to moan and growl if there is anything in her mouth. . which is most of the time. She is also into screaming and not matter how many times a day she does it, it still makes me laugh. Just yesterday she suddenly discovered her hands. She held one out and just stared and flipped it over and over. She's going through a little bit of separation anxiety right now. If I leave the room she tends to immediately cry. . it's pretty fake and cute though. She's also recognizing strangers. A few times someone has held her and she gets scared and starts crying and one time she actually put her little arm out and leaned towards me to rescue her!! She just got a high chair last week and loves to sit in it. I put water in the tray and let her play to keep her occupied so we can eat our food. She does this weird thing where she pounds in the water and then lifts her arms behind her head and rubs. She does that with newspaper too. She's been "eating" her toes when I change her diaper. She loves to sit up in the tub and splash and she tries so hard to get the drain. Her daddy seems to be the only one who can really make her laugh and I love listening to that sound in the house. Brynn gets so excited when one of the animals gets close to her, especially the dog. Unfortunately they are not so excited about her. She's actually thrown a few fits if Bosco leaves the room.
My most favorite things she has been doing is "hugging." When she's hungry she puts her tiny chubby hand around my neck, buries her face in my neck on the other side and makes a little impatient squeak. When someone she's not really sure about talks to her she does the same kind of thing as if it check that mommy is the one holding her and its ok. After she nurses herself to sleep and I put her up on my shoulder she wraps her fingers around my neck. It makes me want to hold her forever :-)
I'm sure if I sat here long enough I could think of another handful of things but these are the ones that make me smile 20 times a day, make me enjoy being a mommy to this chubby little princess even more, and love her to pieces.
