Another month has past and you are now three quarters of a year old! Where is the time going?
HIGHLIGHT of this month....you said MAMA!!! We went with Daddy on a school trip to Clemson for the state FFA convention June 5-8. Your Daddy has caught you trying to say mama a few times but I havne't heard it. Anyway, I put you in your high chair for lunch at Tiger Town Tavern, and you said...mamamama. AHHH!!! YAY! Finally and it was so worth the wait. Music to my ears!
This month has been a big month for you! I celebrated my first Mother's Day on May 12. You and Daddy treated me like a queen! We spent all day at the beach on Saturday. My present was a new hammock for us to enjoy in the yard in the evenings! Although I am sure you will not be still long enough to stay in it long.
On Sunday morning, Mother's Day, we got up and you and Daddy brought me breakfast and you gave me another gift....a Mom charm for my charm bracelet and a card with your hand print and foot print inside! So sweet! I am so honored to be your Mommy and you are truly turning in to a Mommy's girl! You want me when you feel bad, when you're ready to go to sleep and I LOVE that!
This month you decided you were finally ready to get your first tooth! You had a few bad diapers the days before, which didn't clue me in to anything because otherwise you acted like you felt normal. I had been checking every other day to see if one had come and just happened to put my finger in your mouth on the morning of May 30 and felt a little prick....and there it was, your first tooth had popped through! That's the only time you would let me see it. After you knew I knew it was there, you'd clamp down on your lips the second I started coming for your mouth. That tooth is your little prize and you are bound and determined your Daddy and I are not going to see it or take a picture of it.
Your Daddy also successfully taught you to wave hi and bye bye and to clap this month. I am home with you all day and try to work with you on things and he spends 15 minutes with you and you do what he wants. Silly girl! It is so cute though. You wave to yourself because you haven't figured out how to turn your hand around the other way and it is just precious! When we say "yay" you just clap and grin. Adorable, plain and simple!
You also decided this month that you were going to crawl "normal." While we were in Clemson we stayed in a hotel room with carpet. I wasn't all about you army crawling on the floor, so I put down as many blankets as I could but you still managed to get on the carpet. I guess with the softer floor than we have at home, you decided you would crawl on all 4's instead of army crawling.....and boy can you move! You are so cute! We managed to sneak away a few of the days and visit family in Walhalla and they managed to come see you a few nights in Clemson. As always, we love spending time with them!
You also decided that you were going to start pulling up on things this month. You began by pulling up on one of your toys that stands. You'd sort of walk your way up it because it slants and then come back down. One day, I came around the corner and you were pulling up on the couch. After that, you were un-stoppable. You pull up on EVERYTHING! You will stand at the couch, chair or coffee table for forever it seems just pulling everything off and looking around. I am determined I am not baby proofing the house and aside from a few breakables, I havne't. You seem to just know what not to touch and if you do touch it, I just move you to something different. Needless to say, my days of getting anything done are OVER because y stiou are in to EVERYTHING! I have to keep my eye on you at all times.
You still like to get in your bouncy seat and walker, you can really scoot in that thing! You cry when I am out of sight (which I secretly love that too!). If I leave you in your walker or bouncy when I go to take my shower, you scream until you can see me again.
You have the cutest personality. You smile all the time, unless I put a camera in your face. I do capture you smiling, but you have to do it on your own time....stubborn. Wonder who you get that from?
I know this next month is going to be filled with even more surprises of you growing! Your Daddy and I are having so much fun watching you grow and learn. You are so inquisitive! You still love to swing every night and your favorite cartoon every morning is Micky Mouse Clubhouse. We don't watch much TV during the day, but every morning as we cuddle in bed I turn that on and you are glued!
We are so blessed to have you! We love you our princess and look forward to another month of watching you grow!
