Bilby Notes

I blog regularly about Puggle's progress, but I don't want to forget what Bilby has been doing!

She's currently creating paths of drooling destruction:-)

Still ooching rather than really crawling, but she definitely realises that she can choose where she wants to be—and she does! Quite determinately! Mostly, she wants to be out the door to the patio, playing on the brick steps, and making her way down to the patio... across the dirt:-( She thinks it's fabulous! Her other particular wish at the moment is to stand up. She still needs support, but she does the holding (she can't fully pull herself to standing on things... but can on people). She'll hold our hands and inch her feet so that she moves around—like today where she held Paddington's hand and then moved around him to reach a better part of the newspaper:-)

She's progressing slowly on the food front. She finally is not feeling quite so traumatised by the actuality of food, so I think from here on in should go a lot more smoothly:-) And she actually sat up at the table for the whole of tonight's dinner (in a high chair, and only while I ate... Puggle tends to be less efficient with his meals... it'll be a while before she can last the whole of one of his meals!)

She's been waving goodbye/goodnight for about three weeks. She often grabs hold of her other hand in the process, so it is a bit more like the beginning of a dive. When she doesn't do that, her right leg (the one that kicked most of the way through the pregnancy!) kicks wildly at the same time:-) This suggests that now is the right time to begin Baby Sign with her. Now to remember all the signs we used with Puggle! (We didn't use any of the ready made programmes as they all seemed to be ASL, and I figure if we're investing the effort into learning them ourselves, AusLan makes more sense:-) )
