Clapping, Standing, Waving!

Oh yes, and teeth! Over the last couple of weeks, Val has learned the art of clapping, she stands unassisted for a few seconds at a time and her love of waving has gone to new heights. She'll wave at everything, if she's in the mood, wave wave wave, to her fans, to people who she thinks should be her fans, to her beloved boobies.

Two weeks ago, we had no teeth and I was happily breastfeeding. Today, there are 6 teeth and I'm coming to a different place about the breastfeeding. Each little white tooth is a reminder that our little girl is growing up a little more every day.

Along with that, we're quickly moving on from baby food to solid foods. She's got a great love for white foods, rice, god the rice it is sooo great in her world, so much so that she even turned down the boob in favor of rice. To that, I say, go Val! She also loves bread and peaches and pears and bananas. Meat, not so much, not just yet.

She'd rather her feed herself than be fed, making a grand mess in the process.

Being her mom just gets cooler every day.
