I swear, this kid is something else!! It's almost impossible to keep up with all of her new accomplishments. At a few days shy of 6 months, she sits up on her own for long periods of time, she prefers to drink from a cup rather than a bottle (an actual cup, not a sippy cup), and she's talking up a storm!
Thought I'd share a couple videos of her latest achievements. In this one, she's feeding herself...I put the food on the spoon and she likes to do the rest. In fact, some days its quite a battle, she absolutely refuses to eat unless you let her do it. I can almost here her say "I can do it myself". Don't mind the yelling in the background...that's just Owen doing his "pretend play". He's such a nut!
This one is of her talking. Dave thinks she knows what the words "Mama" and "Dada" mean because she uses them so selectively. Although, it seems to me that "Mama" only comes out most when she's mad or doesn't feel good, I'm not sure those are the associations I want her to make! She'll say "Dada" for Dave, but, when I encourage her to say "Mama" I swear she intentionally refuses...decide for yourself...
