WHY? Our Journey Into Homeschooling
Sunday, September 2, 2007
Little Peapod
Just thought I'd post a little bit on how Lily is doing. She'll be 10 months old in just a few days. She's full of verve and attitude. I always wondered if that quiet baby was going to surprise us by being "spirited," and I'm beginning to think I was right. She might need to be renamed Persistence! Distraction doesn't work very well on her when she has her mind set on something, and she can get pretty temperamental if she doesn't get what she's after. (But most of the time she's pretty sweet and lovey!)
She's definitely into her mommy time, nursing, cruising along, trying to get into the trash, tear covers off of books, get Daddy's alarm clock, "pat" the dogs and cats and pull their tails and ears. They all put up with her nicely or leave, although I almost always remove the animal to another location if she is getting too rough. We don't want to push them too far!
A.J. is helping to teach Lily some sign language. So far, she's done "milk" and "more." She's doing another one, but I haven't figured out yet what she means with it. A.J. thinks sign language is a lot of fun and has been learning it by reading books and even watching a video we got from the library.
Lily can also stand on her own for a few seconds, and I'm wondering if she'll be walking long before she hits 12 months. We'll see. I would have thought she'd crawl earlier from the way she tried and tried, but it'll come when she's ready.
