Random List

• We have had multiple days in a row where Miss C has NOT cried at the daycare drop off. Can I just tell you that this makes my day start off much, much better.
• We had the most fun this week putting her toys in a plastic bowl and dumping them out and putting them back in one-by-one. Each time she put one in I would say, monkey, red block, etc.
• Miss C is doing some new gestures that we aren't quite sure what she means. One we think she picked up from a little girl in daycare. She puts her palms up in an "I don't know" kinda of manner.
• Cruising around holding on to everything is great fun for her.
• For meals we aren't giving much jar food anymore. We are just giving her small portions of what we eat. I am still leery of dairy so we are limiting her intake there. She does love cottage cheese though so we think there isn't much of an allergy there. We are slowly incorporating more foods into her diet at home and at the daycare.
• With the exception of her morning and evening bottles everything else she drinks is in a cup. We are doing juice, water and formula.
• Miss C also likes to feed herself so we are working on spoon feeding. We will give her a spoon and put a little food on it while we feed her. She is getting pretty good at doing it herself.
• She now points at things she wants and says "Mo!" when she wants more of something.
• Most recently she pointed at me, pointed at the box of Cheerios and said MO!
• This weekend is her big birthday party with Cousin Mia. She is very excited and has a new outfit just for the party.
• I cannot believe in 8 days she will be 1. Time has flown by and she has changed so much.
