Two very busy weeks
January 4th, 2008
As another blogging mother I know said recently, there’s an advantage in being lazy. By the time you eventually write a post, there is so much more news to put into it!
Well, since the excitement of Talia sitting by herself a few days before Christmas, we’ve had all kinds of excitement.
- the sitting just gets better and better
- she can now say da da (dai dai)
- she has been in a swimming pool for the first time
- she is grasping objects with both hands
- she held a bottle by herself for a time while drinking from it
- she is using one object to hit another object (usually the formula tin, which makes a good drum)
- she has discovered her lower legs and reaches down to hold her shin/ankle
- her shrieking volume has increased (ouch)
- and now, she can roll over from front to back!
At last, a way to avoid the dreaded tummy time - roll straight over onto your back!! I think she would have done it sooner if she had figured out how to move her arm out of the way. Daddyfeatures showed her how to do it 2 days ago and now she remembers the trick and puts it into practice.
We are officially declaring the last two weeks as “wonder weeks”. So much change in such a short time, it is just fantastic to watch Talia’s development happening before our eyes.
Happy new year everyone - 2008 is going to be just amazing.
