Kallie has started to play with toys! She grabs at them, holds them, and of course shoves everything into her mouth. She loves chomping on absolutely anything she can get her hands on. The lovely "oral stage" in all its glory.
She's also rolling all over the place these days! Both ways, back and forth, you name it. The best is seeing her "eye" one of her toys from across the room, then watch her figure out how she's going to get it. Then she rolls, scoots, reaches, (sometimes lays her head down on the floor and whines about it for a little bit), then she's right back up, determined to get to it! If she's really struggling, sometimes she'll resort to just yanking on the blanket to bring the toy closer and closer to her. Little smarty...
We've also started introducing her to some real foods! Strawberries, apples, cantaloupe, pineapple, and most recently watermelon. She would suck and gnaw on them all day long if we'd let her. It's been so fun introducing her to new flavors and textures, and even more fun watching her kick and flail and cry when you take them away...she LOVES them! Maybe we should have introduced her to vegetables first? She may never go back after learning about all these yummy sweet fruits first...whoops!
Her pink teddy bear is an essential for bedtime. She won't sleep without it! As soon as we lay her in her crib, she snuggles right up to it and drifts off to sleep. Occasionally I'll peek on her from the video monitor and see her little hand just petting it over and over. Some would say this is creating a bad habit... I think it's absolutely adorable.

She's also constantly trying to escape her bouncer, her bumbo, her carseat...really any form of restraint. I have a feeling we're about to have a busy, busy, busy one on our hands pretty soon!        |
Sweet girl. What on earth did we ever do without you?
