Milestones

Yesterday Jeannie and I did a lot of errands. She was very calm for not having a nap for the bulk of the day and everyone she met said she was so happy. Not a peep out of her in the grocery store and the bank. Liesl also improved her outlook yesterday. She has been a little squirrelly about the bedtime thing the past week and she spent the night in our bed effectively kicking daddy onto the couch. We stayed up late with her last night watching Signs which I think she enjoyed. She is really into the aliens thing. All of us really got into it. Today I was a little wiped out and fell asleep on the couch while Jeannie was asleep in her crib and Liesl was watching Sesame Street. I woke to the smell of Reece's Pieces. Little ET had gotten into her Halloween candy. I don't know how much she ate before I woke up but she was just a tad hyped up for the rest of the day. Thank god there is not much of it. Speaking of her getting into things. I was cooking her some fish in the oven and turned my back for a second. She wanted it to be ready so badly that she got out 2 oven mits and had them on and got the fish out of the oven. I almost died and made her promise to never do it again. How scary. She is being very independent.

Jeannie started crawling slowly today. Not the army crawl she has been doing but the full on crawl on the hands and knees. She is still getting used to it because this is her first day. She also started saying Dadda today. I have been feeding her all of the baby food I made a few nights ago. I am definitely going to have to freeze this stuff. I have squash, pumpkin, apple and I will be making some pear as soon as I can. She is really liking the eating at the table with us all and it is making mealtimes so much easier. I got a bunch of spoons so I have a pile of them as she tosses them on the floor. She got me good today and flung a spoonful of apples at me with her spoon. She is really good with feeding herself for 30 weeks.
