You have rolls now. Delicious fleshy rolls in your thighs and a little roll where your wrist is. You're still a tiny thing, but you're getting bigger and definitely looking more like a chubby baby. I am in love with your rolls. I could write poetry about your cheeks and sonnets about your thighs. I love to kiss them and listen to you shriek. You have a belly that helps to hold you up when you sit, which you love to do. Sometimes I strip you naked and just marvel at you.
{Favorite things}
Eating Rice Cereal and trying new foods in your mesh chewies. You were recently thrilled to suck on an ice cube, but eshewed the idea of gumming a raspberry or banana....whatever, kid. Sitting up. Standing. You are anxious to start moving. I think it frustrates you that the strength just isn't there yet. When I pick you up to comfort you I tell you to slow down, you needn't be in such a hurry, and ask that you be my baby a bit longer. You don't heed my advice (better get used to that!)
{Special talents}
Your newest thing is growling, you are a growler. You've mastered raspberries and will often spend stretches of time making inappropriate raspberry noises. You have started to say 'mama' though I don't think you associate the word with me just yet. It's ok, it melts my heart anyways.
{Favorite Pastime}
Bath time in the sink, sitting up, splashing the water around. This talent I know you got from me. You still love your naked time, but sitting up has brought on a whole new dimension to bath time.

{Sleep}
Even though you've started sprouting teeth, you're still happy to sleep through the night in your crib, in your own room. Though now you prefer to belly sleep which really worries mama as you've not yet mastered rolling from tummy to back yet.
{Crying}
Only when overtired or overstimulated. You aren't too fussy of a baby, which is good, but when you do decide to be fussy you can be somewhat difficult.
{Dislikes}
Raspberries (of the fruit variety), Socks and, much to mama's chagrin, headbands :(
{Likes}
Putting your mouth on cups, beer bottles and wine glasses. I think you like to feel your teeth clink on the glass, silly girl. Ice cream cones. Your new walker. You recently rediscovered your mobile and you really love to sit underneath and watch your bug friends fly by your head. Naked time, Sink-bath time. All of your Aunties and uncles and great-grandparents, Nana and Papa, LouLou and TomTom, Mama and of course, Dada.
