Delaney is turning the corner from being a baby to a mini-person. She is starting to get really frustrated that she can’t move, is getting very tall, is even more aware of her surroundings and getting people’s attention (read: making sure she ALWAYS has mine:)), is teething big time, still sleeps pretty terribly at night, and still doesn’t really eat. I feel like we’re approaching a big shift in her personality and the things she’s able to do. Part of this makes me sad, but I think she’s ready to be mobile and ready to take on the world a little more independently. She wants to badly to do things herself but she’s just not able to pick up little stuff or move to get something far away etc. so while it makes me sad she’s growing so fast, I’m excited for her as she starts to see even more of the world from different views (like her highchair and the front facing Ergo).

New developments:

– She rolls onto her side when she sleeps

– Bats your hand away when you try to give her a paci and she doesn’t want it

– VERY strong

– Playing with food more, but still not really eating it

– LOVES LOVES LOVES to stand with support and stomp her feet all day long

– Loves warmer weather and the breeze in her hair

– Picks up and shakes everything she sees
