Jennifer's Joyous Journal

Bésame Mucho

My darling girl gives me kisses now when I ask for them. Also, she'll do it whether I ask in English, Spanish, or Czech! Her kisses are so sweet. She leans into me with an open mouth, trying to aim for my lips...it's too adorable for words. She makes my heart sing; I love her so much.

In other news, she babbles nearly constantly when she's awake and she is getting more and more mobil. She doesn't yet crawl on her hands and knees, but she is very good at dragging herself along the ground on her belly. Once she gets to where she was going, she huffs and puffs, grunts and groans, and pushes herself into a sitting position. She also is wonderful at keeping herself occupied with her toys. She enjoys putting things into and out of boxes...after she's tasted them of course.

I only wish that she were more into the solids. I think she may be over the really mushy solids - which sucks 'cause I have a freezer full of split peas, sweet potatoes, ground chicken, carrots, and squash. She does love bread though and fruits and yogurt and oatmeal. I think she'll now start eating infant potions of whatever we have for our own dinner. Of couse that means that I need to start preparing healthy, balanced meals for us!
