We are learning more and more about your personality with each passing day.
* You are a silent observer. When you're with your friends, you like to quietly watch what everyone else is doing and when we get home, you like to mimic what you've seen. I think this is what caused you to master the art of sitting up last month (you saw Oliver do it, and you wanted to do it, too)...and why you're now looking poised and ready to crawl (just don't do it too soon - daddy still needs to put up the baby gates)!
* You don't like pain (but then again, who does?). You've been extra fussy and haven't been sleeping well lately...and we learned that it's because you're cutting your first two teeth! They're still just barely above the surface (I wouldn't have known they were there if I don't spend every chance I get feeling your gums for signs of teeth), but it definitely explains why you've been crabby. Poor girl.
* You love food. But of course, you're daddy's daughter, so are we really that surprised? We've started rice cereal and peas (both made you constipated, so we had to stop). We then tried sweet potatoes, but that coincided with an extra rough night's sleep so I'm afraid to try it again in case that was the culprit. But you are a pro at oatmeal! So far you've loved everything we've given you...so much so that you open your mouth wide and cry if the spoon doesn't get to you fast enough.
* You don't like being away from me for too long. Oh, Lissie - you have to learn that sometimes I need to get a cup of coffee or use the bathroom, too. Even if you can hear my voice, you still aren't satisfied until I am well within your sight. It was cute at first, but I can sense this being a bit of a problem very quickly.
But, of course, I love you. More than you know.
Love,
Mommy
