I mean this in the cutest possible way: miss baby is chunkier than ever.
She has grown the most gorgeous fat chin rolls and chubby thighs but
her feet are still teeny tiny, it's a bit cute. Little pudgy person.
She has gained more control of her hands and will try to grab anything within reach, and quite a few things that are not. Toys, scarves, phones...you name it, she wants to check it. She also tries poking at my iPhone screen the way I do. Tap, tap.
I think crawling might be next on her agenda. I didn't capture it in this shoot but she's started kneeling up. I don't think her brothers crawled this early and there's definitely a part of me that would be happy for her to stay put for a bit longer (mostly the part of me that's not keen on cleaning the floor!) but mostly I can't help but cheer her on excitedly when I notice her trying out her new skills. We cheer, she grins proudly back at us.
And I was reminded upon reading this update on oscarlucinda that we haven't recorded her nicknames as yet. She has quite a few, if you'd like to hear them?
Right from the beginning the preschooler called her Rosie and then Rosabelle.
I call her Rosabelle too, and Miss Rose, Miss Baby, Miss Lady, Lady Baby, The Lady, Lady Lou, Lady Lou Who, and, weirdest of all: Ladles. Like, you know, a serving spoon.
I believe my parents refer to her as R.G.A. Which are her initials.
We also call her Sweetheart. The preschool mimics my high-pitched mother voice when he says it which makes the mr laugh. 'Awww, sweetheart,' the preschooler used to coo when she cried her newborn cries. He still uses a high-pitched voice when he talks to her. He also smiles huge smiles at her to get her to smile back, which she does. She looks for him, waits for him to look at her and when he does she beams, beams, beams.
Do you have nicknames for your wee ones? I love funny ones like Ladles and Spangle Dangs. Or did you have a nickname as a child? Maybe people still call you by your nickname? I'd love to hear.
