Lorelei's Recent Milestones

These are in reverse order, most recent at the top.
This is so I can just add updates at the top and you don't have to scroll through everything to see what's new.

July 21

She is standing for thirty seconds at a time now. She doesn't want to walk, she mostly lunges at the nearest surface to which she can cling. She has added "Sti" to her vocabulary (Stitch). She babbles constantly. She has also been playing peek-a-boo by holding something in front of her face and pulling it down to peek at people.

June 28

Lorelei babbles all the time now. She has quite a vocabulary, in addition to the random babbling. Here is a sample:

bau (abbreviated) = ball

bye bye = bye bye

bie bie = bite

babay = baby

dada or dayee = daddy

ki-ee = kitty

mama or meemee (rarely) or mommy (once) = mommy

nana = nana

wissie = oisie (my grandmother)

June 8

She is 29-3/4" standing. Up 1" from last month! Must have had a growth spurt in May.

May 16

First steps - two or three. Unassisted.

At the beginning of May, she had just gotten her 5th, 6th, and 7th tooth in. By the 16th she was getting her eighth.

She went to her first Renaissance Faire, too.

May 12

She is 28-3/4" standing. Up only 1/8" from last month! No growth spurt in April!

April 21

Her first swimming (well, wading) pool experience.

You can tell how much she loved it!

First time in a pool - in the kitchen! She's a waterbaby.

April 11

Her first Easter.

Her Nana made her Easter dress.

She liked the grass better than any of the toys!

April 9

She is 28-5/8" standing. I say standing because at the Dr's. they lay her down to measure her and she is 30". She has grown an inch and a quarter in a month!

March 17-20

First Gulf Wars. For pictures, go to the SCA Photos page. There's a really cute one.

March 8

She is 27-3/8" tall when standing.

Febuary 14

Attended her first wedding - Uncle Doug and Aunt Jenny. In Gatlinburg!

I'm going to get that flower!

I've got it!

Ha ha!

Both of my honeys, all dressed up.
