OMG KITTY

Naomi absolutely LOVES the cat. I'm not sure he feels the same, though.

That smurf was tasty, mom.

Can I have some milk now, please?

Rollin'

So Naomi figured out how to roll onto her side when she was about a month old. It was kind of cute, and let her look at other things, of course, so yay, but not necessarily worth mention. Just after she turned 2 months she flipped herself onto her tummy for the first time, but she didn't really get the hang of how to do it until nearly 3 months. But on Monday evening, she flipped onto her tummy, then slowly onto her other side, and finally over onto her back again. So far she can only go right, but we'll see how long that keeps her down.

Gotta go baby-proof the living room now....

Re: Firsts

Here is the video Amanda mentioned in the last post. *WARNING* It's kind of loud in the middle. Check your speaker volume.

Just barely caught the end of it, then she noticed the camera. Our daughter has an impeccable sense of timing.

Firsts

She's getting so ridiculously tall. We're talking 6-9 month or 9 month size footies now to accommodate her long legs (6 month onesies, her body's only kinda long). Also, she can't seem to shake the same congestion thingee that's been plaguing Daniel and me. Poor kiddo--she can't blow her nose, of course, so the snot gets stuck in her tummy instead, and then she spits it up. Not that I blame her or anything, it's just too sad!

She's getting pretty decent at sitting, once you've put her upright. She's not half-bad at standing either--and she can do so with only hand support! Crazy. She practices walking with us now, as well as pushing up from her tummy, but she has yet to figure out how to roll from her tummy to her back, though she can get from her back to her tummy (and get stuck and cranky once she's there). I'm not sure, but I don't think this is the order it tells you in those silly baby development books. Oh well =)

The nifty thing, though, is that she figured out how to laugh today. Oh sure, there were giggles and gurgles before, but today was her first real laugh. I was tickling her after changing her diaper, and instead of the usual giggle-squeak she actually managed to laugh. Daniel heard it, too, and rushed in to see if we could get her to do it again, and she obliged us with the cutest noise she's made yet. Of course, when he pulled out his phone to get it on video, she was more interested in staring at the phone than making the appropriate noises for the camera. Better luck next time, huh?

Sundays are for sleeping

Seeing her sleeping on her own is a rare sight indeed.

Tree staring

We took Naomi for a walk the other day, taking advantage of the unusually warm weather. Evidently the trees are fascinating.

Growing hair

It's getting darker. Seems to have a reddish tint now.

Goo

Naomi just keeps getting bigger! I guess I realized that on some level, but seriously. She's 2 months old today, and doesn't fit in her 0-3 footies anymore because she's too long.
Still, she's super cute. She's taken to saying 'goo' whenever she needs a diaper change. Sorta like saying 'I just pooed.' useful, that.

Tiny socks

Amanda knit these for Naomi a while back, but we didn't have time to try them on until today. Kiddo is growing so fast that they were a bit snug fit, but they are really cute.
