So I thought before I forget a lot of the little things that Elly K is in to right now, I might need to write them down. And by write them down, I mean blog about it! This officially has become my method for keeping up with Elly K (and will be for the next baby too). I think I made it through month 5 in EK's baby book, but on here I think I have been pretty good about posting each month.
So here is EK's current status update:
We have one HAPPY baby on our hands! She is full of energy, smiles, love, and kisses. The only time she gets upset or cranky is when she's sleepy or frustrated that she did get what she wanted. If she doesn't get her way, she has started throwing tantrums that we can't help but laugh at. She will literally bend at the waist, put her forehead on the ground and cry. I can't wait till she gets to be 2/3 (that was said with TONS of sarcasm).
Things she loves right now:
- Carrying bags around like a purse (any bag)
- Loving on her baby dolls (she will give them kisses and pat their booties)
- Giving kisses to people
- Getting into the pantry and playing with the K-Cups
- Turning circles to Ring Around the Rosies
- Eating with a fork or spoon (even when its not appropriate food for a fork or spoon)
- Putting clothes on (she will put them on her arms or around her neck and walk around)
- Pushing the buggies at stores
- Climbing (enough said)
- Getting items out of the kitchen cabinets and playing with them
- Playing outside
- She will go to bed on her own (if you ask her is she wanted to go to bed, she will take off down the hall, making sure you are following her, then wait to be picked up and laid in her crib)
- She still sleeps through the night
- Loves being thrown on the bed and thinks our bed is a playground
- Still loves bath time but she will let you know when she is ready to get out
- Shakes her head no when she doesn't want a particular food
- Still gets one bottle a day (4 ounces of milk right before bed)
- Prancing (or high stepping as we call it) everywhere...Kinda looks like one of those Tennessee Walking Horses when they prance
- Finally started getting the hang of a regular sippy cup but still prefers something with a straw
- Puts her hand out towards an items if she wants it
- Can point to her nose (she doesn't always hit the mark, but she's getting closer)
- Claps for herself
- Finally getting into cartoons (which gives us a few minutes of peacefulness)
- EK will give you an ear full (She just talks and talks, however we have no clue what she is saying, we just go along with it)
- Takes her paci out on command and leaves it in her bed
