I am 42 weeks old today! 

 This week I…

• Went to Chicago for Liam’s first birthday!
• One of my top teeth almost fully emerged 
• Had a cold:( (mama & dada too)
• Started pointing at everything 
• Starting to pull myself to a kneeling position on furniture, but not yet pulling to standing on my own 
• Love standing on the couch with mama’s help
• Have recently been enjoying watching cars go by out the window 
• Moving nonstop! Mama and dada are getting a baby fence to help me from getting into things I shouldn’t 
• Lately I’ve been preferring to work on my pincher grasp to pick up random bits of fuzz and debris on the floor instead of during mealtime 
• Lately prefer moving around on the floor to being held
• Started pulling on mama or dada’s pants when I do want to be picked up 
• Absolutely refuse to lay still on my changing table, preferring to sit up or roll over onto hands & knees and try to pull things off the dresser–and I get really mad when mama says no & lays me back down 

Memories from the week:

One of my current fixations    

 
 
My current preferred napping position  

    
 
Virtual reality baby  

 
I got a new big girl car seat!   

Dada is very silly  

Relaxing in the tub with some good literature  

    
 
I know him! 

    
 
Extra smiley to show off my new tooth 

    
 
Getting a little better at my pincher grasp but still prefer eating from a spoon  

   
Trying to rip my shirt in half to show off how strong I am 

   
Just hanging out with mama after a nap 

    
   
Pumped for the day! 

   
Playing with unfamiliar toys at the house we stayed at in Chicago  

    
   
Hanging out with grandma  

    
   
With Aunt Jessica at Liam’s birthday party  

    
   
Having a blast at the party! 

  
    
 
Helping Liam open presents (well mostly just playing with his stuff) 

 
Staying entertained on the drive home (I did really good!) 

   
Good morning! 

   
Baa baa white sheep have you any wool?   
  
Gog!! 

    
 
 I love drawstrings   
  
Practicing my standing 

    
 
These days I prefer to have something to occupy me while listening to my stories  

 
Love you Who!
