Baby stuff
Feb. 17th, 2004 01:54 pmNew: rolling over and over. She did it yesterday for the nanny, and today for mr. flea. Now she can locomote! Albeit in a sort of inefficient way. I think she was scootching backwards some yesterday, too.
We're trying to be a little more consistent with offering food - generally bananas - at our dinner time. She eats but not with great enthusiasm. Yesterday she wasn't too interested, so we didn't push it. She was more involved in the noise her feet made kicking against the foot rest of the high chair than in eating. (We have decided she's like that horse who can count by tapping his foot. She bangs her right foot against the car seat a lot. So we say, "What's two plus two?" Bam, bam, bam, bam. "What's seven minus three?" Bam, bam, bam, bam.)
She's getting big - I hope we have an on-time spring, because if she goes up a size too soon we'll have to buy some new long-sleeved things. I am also now looking at bigger carseats, since my guess is she'll be too long for the basic infant seat we have now by the time of her checkup in 2 weeks, if she isn't already. Bigger car seats are much less convenient, alas, as you have the keep them in the car and can't snap the baby carrier out of the base and walk around. I can't believe she's outgrowing this seat already at 6 months.
mr. flea brought her to my work today - in the snow - in the Baby Bjorn, facing forward, but with her lower half zipped inside his coat. She was red-cheeked and cheery, and fell asleep when we got her to the restaurant. Stayed asleep through being re-inserted in the snowsuit, re-fitted in the Bjorn, and out the door into the cold air. Opened one eye briefly as I kissed her goodbye. Little floppy head.
