I hadn't tried to read Whitney any of our "baby" books in a while because before she wasn't interested. But this week I picked up Kate's old favorite "farm friends" a lift-the-flap peekaboo book, and Whitney LAUGHED right out loud as each animal popped out! She loved it and quickly figured out how to pull down the flaps to reveal the cute animal faces. She just smiles and smiles at books now and wants to turn pages. SO cute.Next, she started sitting this silly way with her leg bent out behind her. It makes it so she can turn in cirles better and regain her balance better after reaching for something. Because this girl loves to sit! and has no desire to be on her tummy. That's BORING, when she can sit up and play with everything and kind of scoot a few inches or turn around in a circle and find new toys!
So who knows when she'll ever crawl, I'll keep giving her "tummy time" and maybe someday she'll want to. Or probably she'll just take off crawling from her sitting position one day. By the way that hat she's wearing is from Aunt Katrina, my sister on a mission in Russia! Cute!Anyway Whitney continues to be the sweetest little girl ever. She's so fun and happy and loving. We swear she said "duh" for dad the other day when Eric walked in the door home from work. She was looking straight at him and kicking and squirming in my arms smiling and so happy to see him and she said "duh"- he loved it. :) She's totally said "mama" at least 10 times so I don't feel bad :)
Oh and her other favorite thing to do is feed herself, I don't have a picture. She is a pro at Cheerios and little pieces of bread. And now she'll only eat baby food like 50% of the time. She wants the real thing! OH, and she has 4 teeth!! Woo hoo, I hope she's done teething for a while, this last month has been hard for her, poor girl.
We love our little Whitney Mae-mae. ( or as Katelyn says, Whitnuh mae-muh or Whitney mae-mee)
I saw a baby once who sat-walked. It was quite the sight to see. Glad W's doing well!
