Her first Drawing

This is her first drawing. The first time that she has sat down and drawn something herself. All the other times she has watched and eaten the crayons. Dont get me wrong....she did her fair share of crayon eating last night. I think the drawing was inspired by Momma and Oma's Stamp Class last night. She did so well in her high chair stamping and snacking on pretzels with the girls.

Mom and I thought about the last blog and determined she has been saying "all done" which is really 2 words stung together too but I think that "tooth hurt" counts for more of a 2 word string especially since she is telling you something about herself and not just trying to get out of a highchair.

One new thing that she has been doing, as recent as the last 2 weeks is saying "hug" and resting her head on your shoulder and giving a big hug. We are loving it. She has also been giving a lot more kisses out too. My happy smiley little girl is so good to wake up to. She has been doing alot better with the crib. She slept in it for nap-time on the weekend and for bedtime on Sunday for about 3 hours. It is a good start and I am sure she will get used to it. She has been doing better at self soothing at sleepy times with a little help from momma rubbing her back. She has had to resort to it because she has been having an awful time nursing with this sinus problem hanging on from the cold. I think today her nose will be dry for the first time.....maybe in about 2.5 wks. She was a little crusty so I am hopeful. But she did do a little coughing this morning.
