Here are some of the things Mikaelin has learned to do:
- Giggle! Mikaelin thinks it's really funny when her Daddy blows a raspberry on her tummy. While she smiles a LOT, giggles are much more rare. So far, she has only giggled at me, Dad, and Sarah when she made the Donald Duck noise =)
- Nap in her crib! Granted, each nap is exactly 30 minutes long, but it's still exciting for me. She's actually developing something like a routine, which makes my life easier just for the predictability aspect. She always wakes up cheerful with a huge grin, which makes every day awesome.
- Blow bubbles! Mikaelin is a pro at producing spit bubbles of many sizes.
- Hold her head up during tummy time! As you can see in the picture, she is a very strong girl. She stands up a lot, and marches with her strong legs. She still hasn't figured out how to turn over, but she'd rather stand than sit or lay down anyway.
- Eat without the shield! We're down to using the shield about 35% of the time now, which is a huge improvement.
