Growing Fast 1

Mariah is growing faster and faster each day.

Teething

Mariah has been teething for a while or maybe that was just extra drool. She seemed really irritated a couple of days ago. I checked inside her mouth and felt the tooth coming through. Tawanna felt inside of her mouth and got a little emotional. Each step that she takes is one step towards her independence.

Feeding

She is destroying cereal and stage one foods now. I told Tawanna that she is a Wright Baby and we develop a little faster than most. I am going to look into some stage two foods soon. One thing I want to note is that her stools are more grown up now than they have ever been. Diaper changes are becoming more and more excruciating.

Muscles

Mariah's muscles are developing more and more each day. We are sure to give her plenty of exercise. I put her on her stomach to see if she will crawl. Right now she is not there yet but will be soon. She is starting to lift her body up on her arms. She moves her legs but not good enough to produce movement.

Sleep

She is sleeping really well at night. She has one good nap during the day and one good stretch at night. We just have to make sure that we put her to sleep at a good time.

Here are some pictures of her recently.

She is getting so big! I can remember the first time Avery slept in her crib (as opposed to the bassinett), and I cried....I told Chris "this is just one more step toward her not needing me anymore:(" The good news is that 2 years later, she still needs me....to get her snacks.
