We're having a lazy Sunday afternoon, so I thought it made sense to put up a little recap of the week that was. It was a fairly routine week, which was a nice break from living on Hoth the previous week. With one exception, the changes in Reagan this week have been incremental.
Reagan continues to grow stronger, and can really push up so her entire chest and head are up in the air. She often lifts her feet at the same time and kind of rocks on her tummy. The front-to-back rollover happens pretty regularly now, but she can't quite figure out how to go back-to-front. She'll make it to her side and just stop there.
We keep adding new baby food to her diet every few days, and she has now experienced carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, and green beans in addition to the rice cereal and the oatmeal (her favorite). So far she hasn't had any indication of any allergies, but it's clear the addition of food to her diet has an effect on her digestive system. Let's just leave it at that.
We also brought out the old door jumper for Reagan, and she seems to really like it (notwithstanding the expression in the above photo). But, like most things she really likes, she still only tolerates it for about ten minutes before we have to move her to a different activity.
The biggest change this week has been Reagan's discovery of a new vocal range. Out of the blue on about Wednesday, she just squealed really loudly, and she's been doing it regularly ever since. It's adorable since she's usually smiling when she does it, but if I'm holding her on my hip, the screech goes right into my ear. Along with the squeal, we've noticed her making a lot more multi-syllabic sounds, too. Our concerns that Reagan wouldn't talk much because her sister talks all the time appear to be unfounded. Instead, it's shaping up that both girls will be chatterboxes. Can't wait for those long car trips.
Love the update! Reagan is really growing and she is just precious! All the new things she is doing sounds wonderful, especially the chatterbo part...my family could attest to that, that was me as a child ;) Take care and hugs to all!
