I've probably mentioned this before, but it keeps happening, so I'll keep mentioning it. Every once in a while I'm stopped in my tracks by the thought that I have a child. Socha, after having the greatest luck in meeting your Dad, you are the best thing that has happened in my life. I still can't believe I went through a pregnancy and birth and colic and I'm now dealing with trying to teach you how to eat solids and sleep through the night. Every day is an adventure - we're all learning something new. Just yesterday, you were playing with Lori and I walked into the room, and I just had to stop and simply stare in wonder. You came from us. You bring us such joy. You bring joy to practically anyone who sees you. It's possible that you smile more than you sleep these days (OK, that is a bit of an exaggeration, but you really do smile a lot. It's wonderful!).
So recently you've been working on tooth #5. You haven't been in a lot of pain, but you sure are drooling a lot - enough to require a bib at all times. Luckily you've gotten over your cold so there isn't the addition of snot to your drool...
You are learning to put small blocks inside the bigger blocks. I think you like the sound they make when you shake them. You still don't want a tower to stand. In fact, you dump the plastic donuts off their spindle every chance you get, so it seems that no tower of any kind is allowed in your presence. We've started tickling you, mostly because you have the most wonderful laugh and we want to hear it as much as possible. You also have learned to enjoy rides in boxes or laundry hampers (this elicits giggles too). You're standing really well these days. This morning I watched you stand up on your mattress in your crib - without pulling up on the sides. You'll be walking before I know it!
More foods on your list: strawberries, raspberries, zucchini, amaranth (a grain). We're trying quinoa and raisins right now. Your appetite has come back since you started feeling better. Of course, this increases the number of poops per day. We take the good with the bad...
