Learning to Wave

ANDREW: We've been trying to get Carys to start waving lately... when Corrie leaves in the morning or anyone is heading out, we make her wave. She smiles from ear to ear. It makes the experience of saying goodbye for a while fun for her and she doesn't end up missing the person who just left... especially effective when Mama leaves for work each morning. She's finally gotten enough motor control that now she is starting to wave on her own... it's really adorable.

Also, she's added to her solid food repertoire: green beans, pears, carrots and oatmeal have all been added to the list recently.

And her naps are becoming even more regular. She's gotten to the point where she can soothe herself to sleep without any crying now, too. It's amazing how much she's just growing into a little girl right in front of our eyes.

The included picture is from some recent bathtime fun... For those of you wondering, NO, we are not using Dawn detergent to scrub the little sprout. It just so happened to be sitting on the counter. Very soon, she will no longer fit in the sink for her baths. This isn't going to be good for our backs.
