Well it happened. I've searched and searched over the past year, but it turns out there is no force on Earth powerful enough to stop a healthy child from aging. Alice has grown so much in a tiny amount of time it’s incredible. And, you know, she is so much fun now and she seems to get better with age… so I guess there are no regrets.
She likes to give kisses (open mouthed). She sings with me whenever I sing. She dances (twists and bounces) any time she hears anything remotely musical. She says “ah oh”, “at” (Ames?), “hi”, “ullo” (hello), “mama”, “dada”. She’s pretty quiet compared to Ames at this age, but she does do lots of cute babbling. Alice is getting sooooo close to walking—she has taken a few steps at a time and can stand alone for a short second. Every time she realizes she’s standing alone she just starts laughing so hard it makes her fall. She crawls around as quick as lightning—especially when she sees you eating something she wants. She puts everything in her mouth and chews on everything. She’s kind of a puppy dog.
She laughs at everything (although sometimes it can be a little insensitive), it’s awesome.
Alice never did take to nursing, much to my chagrin. I ended up pumping her milk every three hours until she was about 9 months, my milk was depleting and I slowly started working formula into her diet too. Now she is down to two pumped bottles a day and one formula bottle between. She eats lots of solids. Pretty much anything we give her although she is not great at chewing (even with 10 teeth!) so she chokes all. the. time.
Our little photo shoot this month was a piece of work. Not gonna lie, I am happy to be done with this until her next birthday! haha
Here she is about to take a step and one in her pro crawling position.
Anyway, you’ve got another post coming at you all about her big birthday extravaganza!
Here’s a preview:
