One Early October Morning

So, it's been three whole months since I've made an update to this blog. Myah has grown a bunch since then. About four weeks ago, she learned to roll from her front to her back. Still, that's the only way she rolls. She scoots 2-3 feet from the place you leave her, although it's a slow process, so mostly, you look away because it seems like she'll never move anywhere, then you look back and voila, she's 3 feet from where you put her. My nickname for her has become, "Sweetness" because that's what she is - a bundle of sweetness. She loves to squeel a high-pitched squeel when you tickle her rib cage. A few belly laughs come out here and there, but we get a lot more of the high-pitched squeel. About six days ago, she started playing with her feet, so I started putting entertaining booties on her feet - you know - the ones that look like bunnies or that have pom-poms on the end of them - just to give her a little added fun. We are doing 1-2 nursing sessions a day and then the rest formula bottles. I always nurse her first thing in the morning and then she falls back t0 sleep for an hour or two on my bed--hence my time to write in her blog now. I have been mixing some rice cereal in her bottles for the last 3 weeks or so and that helps to fill her up. On October 2, I gave her some rice cereal from a spoon for the first time and she gobbled it up like a pro. Since then, I've fed her about one rice cereal bowl every other day and she just loves it. She also loves watching her big sister play and walk around the room - no doubt learning her next moves. She is good at grabbing onto things with her fingers - and what a grip! She loves to feel people's faces with her hands and her favorite toy seems to be this 'zebra-in-a-hula-skirt' teething toy that someone bought for Myah's sister a couple years ago (if that was you, way to go!!).
