Jadyn continues to get her knees under her hips and then rock a little, but she still is not crawling. She's been scooting (on her belly) in circles and backwards, but pulling herself forward is harder for her. She loves standing with support or bouncing in her jumper. She squeals with glee when the cats slink by, and I'm sure she'll be in hot pursuit of the felines before we know it. She pulls her socks off to get at her toes (or to chew on her socks). She has also learned in just the last week or two how to pull her hat off her head and either chew on it or throw it "overboard" (=out of the car seat or stroller).
We've been feeding her solid food once a day for a month now, and the amount she eats at one sitting has nearly doubled. She eats both rice and oatmeal cereal, carrots, squash, avocado, applesauce, and peaches. Carrots and peaches seem to be the biggest hits so far. It's time to feed her more often during the day; lucky for us, just like her parents, she seems to enjoy eating. She has taken to reaching for the spoon, often grabbing the food on the end (rather than the handle) and guiding it to her mouth. This makes for messy hands, but she is more focused on eating when she participates in the process.
Day care got better after the first day. She doesn't always take good naps there, so we hope she sorts that out soon! But Jadyn has proven to be very resilient, so we're pretty sure she'll figure it all out.
Her "mamamamama" babble is very clearly "mama" at times. We are working hard on "dadadadada" and "daddy", and today she might have said "dada," but we can't say for sure yet. Stay tuned!
