Practically an Adult

You've had some big changes over the last week or two! I feel like I just wrote a post about your recent milestones, but I'm telling you some new ones just popped up overnight and now I feel like we need another update!

I know I keep saying this, but I mean it this time: you are so close to crawling. You can get up to all fours and rock, then you can come forward a bit, but you always faceplant after just a few scoots. SO CLOSE. You've also begun to babble:

It's hard to tell what sound you're making. Sometimes it sounds like a "tatata" and sometimes it's a "dadada" and sometimes it's a "nyanyanya," but it's definitely a consonant sound and that's new!

And probably one of our biggest milestones to date: YOU HAVE TEETH. I've been saying for months that you're teething. "Oh her nose is runny." Teething. "She's drooling an awful lot." Teething. "Wow, she chews on everything!" Teething. But for real this time: teething. Your Auntie Sara felt one tooth last weekend when she was playing with you, but now I can actually see three teeth! Big changes. Overnight.

One of the best thing about living in Georgia is that Daideo lives here, too. He's seen you every week or two since you were in the hospital. With changes so big happening all the time, we try really hard to update your grandparents as much as possible, but it's so great that he gets to see it firsthand! He always comments to me about how much you've grown, even if it's only been a few days since the last time he saw you. You're just changing so fast! The last couple of times you saw him, you really had a lot of fun playing with him on the floor...

...especially when you got to show him your favorite toy: your tugboat!

Daideo loves you so much, he didn't even make a comment about how you were wearing the same outfit two visits in a row (oops)!

You are changing and growing so quickly. It just amazes all of us who are lucky enough to see you so regularly!
