REW is so funny. She is "talking" to us in her own words. She barks at Frankie and loves to see her when we walk down the stairs in the morning! She is a little whip. Today, she found old credit cards that Mug plays with, crawled around until she found the wallet they go in, and put them all back in it. No prompting at all! I thought that was pretty funny. She is also super into puzzles, or at least what she can be for her age. She loves to get Mug's puzzles {something he has NEVER taken interest in} and take them apart and bang the pieces of it on the board. I'm sure that means she is a genius.
REW loves Brent, Mug and me. We are her favorites over all people. She absolutely adores watching Mug and being in the same room with him. I honestly think she is learning a ton of stuff from him. She will pick something up and hold it out to him and he tells her what it is. Melts my heart! REW is pretty good about separation anxiety. She gets a very mild case of it, but nothing to speak of. Generally, she is happy to go to nursery and stay with sitters. That is a blessing!
Flirt. This one is a flirt. The pic below is her actual flirt pose. She tilts her head all the way to one side and bats her lashes. EVERY SINGLE time we pick her up from church, the nursery worker tells us that she hung on the whatever make daddy volunteer was there that day. Uh-boy. She is also very strong willed. She puts up a fight. Especially now that she can get hold of Mug's toys. She battles him pretty hard for what she wants. She usually gets a smack in the head and Mug gets a time-out. Mug is actually starting to just literally run and hide from her. Calls her the baby crocodile.
She is on the go. I predict walking is in the next month. She is determined as can be. She climbs up everything, and into everything. She can pull up with one hand. It looks super freaky because she is but a tee-niny thing! I can't even fathom what it will be like for me when she is a walker. I am going to be a mess.
She is still eating like a champ. Eats absolutely zero baby food. Will not have it. Only table food. I sort of like this because I can give her what we eat, but I also forgot what a production meal time is. Everything is on the floor, cutting everything up, by the time I sit down to eat, Brent is washing dishes. I am so ready for a sit down family meal. Will those days come soon?
{knock on wood} REW takes lovely naps. They are a good length. Still taking 2 naps, which bascially has us under house arrest. I suppose I still have a good 3 or 4 months of this. Her night sleep is fine. Unpredictable, but fine. She is sometimes up crying for a few minutes around 4. I have not been having to get up super early for her morning feeds this past week. Who knows though. If she can sleep all the way until 7, I am happy with that.
REW had strep this month. Again. So weird. I am always going to have to take her into the doctor with any sort of fever because she will probably have strep a lot! The funny thing is that the way I always know she is sick is because she sleeps 14-15 hours straight and cuddles.
What do you think? Looks like me or daddy?
Overall, my little lady is a gem. I am just deeply falling in love with her. When she is sleeping I often want to go get her and just cuddle and kiss her. She is such a sweet little thing. I thought she was going to be this quiet, meek child, but I am second guessing myself now that she is mobile and becoming vocal. I think she is going to be like Mug, but more active. I can't believe I am in the process of 1st Birthday plans. I can't believe how time flies. How this is potentially the last little tyke I will ever have. I am trying to grasp onto all the things, but as always, time is like sand.

she is gorgeous!!! I cannot believe she'll be 1 in two short months - seriously! Where does the time go???
She and Carter seem SO much alike to me! Even some of their expressions. :) She is a doll to be sure, and I think she looks like you more often than Brent.
