so, in true second-child-syndrome fashion, I have neglected to record the fact that the Bug has reached several 'firsts' in recent weeks. it's pretty exciting when i stop and think about it.
1. Crawling! She finally took off before we went to the beach. It brings her great joy to be mobile. We enjoy watching her maneuver around. Her tiny little frame looks very strange.
2. Pulling up. She almost simultaneously learned to pull up on her knees. Not to her feet yet, but she pulls up to her knees almost everywhere. The iron spindles above the stairs, the stool in the bathroom, the toy shelves in RM's room. So much to investigate!
3. "Bye, Bye!" We're waving and saying our first word! I can't believe it, and honestly thought it was a fluke, but she's really consistent No credit being taken on the parenting front here. They taught her at the School of the Little People. I love them.
4. Food. We're making end roads there. She went from a strict bottle only and cheerios diet to penne pasta with marinara, sweet potato fries, freeze dried fruit, and rice cakes. I've discovered that the rule for the Bug is that texture has the most surpreme importance to her. If it's slimy, forget it.
5. Fever. Sadly, this first is NOT fun. Wednesday night she spiked to 102.5. According to the pediatrician, they've seen dozens of fever virus cases this week, and Clementine has it too. Hopefully she'll be feeling better soon. The fever hasn't been as high, but she's definitely not herself still.
