Well, That's Different!

This kid is hilarious. I don't know how she does it, but every now and then she pulls out one of these new tricks and has us laughing and laughing. I'm pretty sure neither of us taught her this one since neither of us can repeat it. Thing is with these noises that she does, she seems to only do them for a couple of days, and then moves on to something new. If she starts doing something new, we have to catch it early.

For a few days, this is what she was doing after she had a bottle. I wish the video was clearer, but it was bedtime so the room was only dimly lit and her white noise was already turned on.



I have no idea how she made the connection that this action was even possible let alone as funny as we found it. When she drinks a bottle, she cups her tongue like a U around the bottle nipple while she's sucking. This is something that breastfed babies do, so it seems that she still has that skill even though we haven't really nursed since July.

5 Months Old

This kid just amazes me. I've been struggling to get some decent pictures of her lately so I didn't really have high expectations that her 5 month pictures would turn out very well. I figured we'd have to try at least two different "sessions" with her to get anything workable. Nah! She nailed it on the first attempt. And she was in such a good mood. I am very pleased with how these turned out.

Here are a few of my favorites.
