New textures and habits




Melanie has learned the art - from her week or so of being sick - of throwing a temper tantrum. If she's upset, she now knows how to just stop, lay her head on the ground, and cry. She usually is honestly distressed by something - it's not entirely a manipulative tool (yet). Also, she has learned to cross her fingers. Well, she learned this a while ago, but man, has she been practicing lately!
-
Two of Mel's new textures that she has discovered - scrambled eggs and running water - are photographed above. The water typically needs to follow the eggs!
-
With her 1.5 teeth coming in up top (I'm still waiting for confirmation on how many teeth will pop through) - Mel is also learning how her mouth feels with these new inhabitants. She is making new noises as she explores her lip and gum/tooth interaction.
-
Melanie continues to feel better - we got a little nervous over night/this morning, as she felt really warm to us, and then daycare called to report a low-grade fever. However, the doctor said that as long as she was acting and eating okay, there was probably nothing to worry about, so luckily daycare let her stay! She went to bed at like 5pm last night (after her 3.5 hour nap after returning from Suzi's!) - and woke up a few times over night, but didn't really want to eat or anything. She slept through the night at Suzi's - or at least that's what she reported - and then only took a 45-minute nap today!

Isn't it fun to watch them discover daily! I told Suzi she would sleep through the night b.c she was so busy with the zoo and dinner....Bella loved spending time with her!
