Lots of new developments in the last few weeks!
Reese has been crawling since mid December. She's now quite speedy when she wants to check something out. She also pulls up to a stand on almost everything and is starting to cruise a little bit on her baby jail bars, plus she has figured out how to sit from a stand (must be easy with all the padding to plop back down)... so I don't have to help her get down once she pulls up. Along with crawling I have noticed her eating waaay more stuff off the floor, which means I need to clean the house more often. Add insult to injury... Oso is starting to blow his coat and the house will be covered with malamute hair for the next month or so, and I am sure Reese will gladly eat it given the opportunity.
2 more teeth came in mid December also, which brings us to 8. And she seems like the molar are starting to bug her too, so those might appear in the near future.
Reese is pretty outgoing & social now, the separation anxiety is wearing off. She now claps when she is happy, which is usually when she is eating or gets to eat. For example whenever she finds a tasty morsel of something or other on the floor she picks it up, eats it, then smiles & claps. The other morning when I came in her room to get her up for the day and feed her, I was greeted by her sitting up in her bed smiling, she started clapping when she saw me. Happy clapping baby, works for me! She will also wave on occasion, but we are still working on it. DADADADADA is her new go to "word" amongst other chatty noises, she has a lot to say recently. Her opinionatedness (if thats a word) is as strong as ever. If she wants something (your food/your drink/Rae's toys/Your phone) she will scream as if someone smacked her. Quite effective, well played little sister.
Baths are now like going to a splash park, everyone gets wet. Rae & Reese LOVE splashing each other, unlike her big sister Reese doesn't seem to mind getting her head/face wet. She has slid under water a few times, only to pop back up smiling and keeps splashing.
Both girls had a great time opening up gifts on Christmas, so happy that Justin was off to spend it with us.
