Inez is officially a big girl. she is sitting up like a pro- though she does still tip over on occasion. We forgive her. She gets a great big smile when she is either standing (with help) or sitting. She's not crawling, and I don't think she will be too soon. She does scoot forward by shoving her head into the ground and then lifting her butt. It's very elegant.
Inez also loves her tongue still. It's often out to play. She giggles a lot now. She especially finds it funny when i wash her hands with a wet washcloth. I always get giggles for that. Mom is so funny! I love being so appreciated.
We decided to try some food a week or so ago and see if she was ready. She's almost ready, but not quite. She enjoys trying things. So far she has tasted banana, sweet potato and avocado. On most occasions little to nothing gets into her tummy. But she really seems to enjoy playing with the food. It's also nice to know she takes after me, her mom. I still enjoy playing with my food. (don't let this get back to my three year olds who often get asked to stop playing and eat).
We are going slow on the food and waiting until she's really ready.
Last week we visited her great grandparents Reid in Windom. She was all eyes for grandma! It was our first night away from home since she was born and she did great.
Right now Inez is sleeping in her stroller while I type. It's only 7:30, but she must be tired from waking me up 4 times a night. We're all hoping it's a phase, maybe like the one in which she slept 8 hours a night.
