Fireside Dog
Lulu turned 8 mos old this past week, and oh what a joy she's been. She's finally into a healthy routine of eating with us, napping & regularly having a bed time.
Last Sunday she made her first crawling movements forward, but Monday & Tuesday she was mixing forward & backwards and becoming pretty frustrated. Now she's non-stop moving forward. She regularly loves to be in her walker and playing piano.
Her 4 favorite toys are her stacking rings, her Scout the Dog, her Mac the Monkey & her stacking cups. If music is playing when she's playing with her stacking cups she'll clap the cups together with a decent rhythm. She started pushing her ABC Snail around (it has wheels) keeping on all 4 wheels, but her wheeled aligator usually only makes it into her mouth.
She loves to drink water from her sippy cup, and to hold her 4 oz bottle on her own. She seems partial to having formula in a bottle and water in the sippy. I stopped nursing her 3 days ago, and she seems happy still.
She started giving the open mouth baby kisses too, it's so cute!
She's very chatty and I think I hear Mama & Dada... but I think they are just sounds to her.
She started pulling herself up to her knees at furniture a week or so ago, but yesterday she was attempting to pull herself to her feet and stand in a bent over fashion... but it's always for a short duration because then she crawls off to the next thing. Usually making her way after a cat or dog.
