24 Weeks Old and an Update


Nico is full of tricks and giggles lately. At 5.5 months old, here's a little rundown of things she can do:

-Smile unprompted and prompted
-Giggle
-Squeal
-Grab with 1 hand or both hands (and then put whatever she has in her mouth)
-Reach out for toys
-Roll from back to tummy
-Roll from tummy to back
-Sit supported
-Turn towards sounds or when we say her name
-Push with her legs/almost 'creeping' when on her belly
-Grab her feet/toes
-Aaaalmost put her big toes in her mouth
-Drool and chew (no visible sign of teeth yet but there's lot of drooling and chewing going on)
-Probably more things that I can't think of right now (she's changing every day!)

She doesn't, however, always do these things when we'd like... she sometimes does a new trick and then makes us work really hard to get her to do it again - it may be 2 or 3 weeks before she does it again or maybe it'll be the next day. She keeps us on our toes and she is always a joy to be around. When she cries or screams that means there is something going on that we need to fix!

She's not usually that great at putting herself to sleep for naps in the late morning and early afternoon, but yet again she's full of surprises - today she has done that twice. She loves being read to and watches the pictures in the books. She likes listening to all sorts of music and especially loves her B. Woofer Guitar. I think she's kind of getting the hang of playing peek-a-boo too....

This is a little video of her giggling yesterday
