Sit - Mimi - Sit..

You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. (Psalm 139:2)

Don't take this the wrong way, but sometimes, I feel or sound like I'm trying to teach a dog a new trick... or in Mimi's case - a cute, cuddly baby with puppy eyes =)

Sit, Mimi, Sit...
Siiiiiiit...
Good Girl!

Okay, now Roll Over...
Roll Over?...
Roooooll Over...

Good Girl! Good job Naomi!

From Sitting

HA! Shame on me! As you can see, Naomi can now sit up, unassisted =) She's actually been doing so for almost two weeks. The weekend of Mimi's Christening, she was hanging out with her cousins... it was mostly Weslee crawling, Bella sitting and Mimi laying on her tummy. Or I would hold her up while she sat. The following day, I tried to sit her up again, and she began balancing on her own! They must have gave each other lessons, because Bella began crawling soon after, too! Now, I get a thrill out of showing other people how she sits. Here she is on the couch, sitting for Grandma Lily:

Another thing that she does a lot of lately is touching her feet. The funniest time has got to be when she was sitting for Richie on the bed. She ended up falling over onto her back. That's when we discovered that not only does she like to touch her toes, but she's been trying to taste them, too!



EVERYTHING goes into her mouth now! Naomi chews on her security blankies and her sleeves. It seems that she enjoys eating the toys on her activity center the most. Lately, she's been trying to eat my hair.

Now if only we could get her to eat/drink out of her bottle! We've finally been able to get her to tolerate it in her mouth. She'll actually reach out and grab the bottle and put it in her mouth, but she makes a funny face and doesn't actually drink. The milk will drip into her mouth and most of it ends up dribbling down her chin! She only really swallows the milk when she's frustrated and crying... and that only seems to get her more upset that she actually had to ingest some of it!

Naomi is already 5.5 months old and pretty much ready to have "solid" food, especially now that she'll be able to sit up in a highchair. We tried giving her rice cereal one time for Auntie Leia and she did fairly well, but we will officially be feeding her solids starting next week. Should be lots of fun!! Here's a sneak peek of what's in store:
