Outbreak Monkey

I think we have a pandemic on our hands, and the outbreak monkey appears to be A-Train. She hasn't gotten sick, Thank GOD! Still keeping a close eye on her, but she seems ok.

Her hair is awesome today. The back is ratty looking as usual, even though it's not knotted up. The front has a spike and the top looks like a peacock plume. I didn't have time to take photos but if it still looks like that after daycare, pics are a must. Every time she moved her head, the plume would wave around like dandelion fluff.

I still have a ton of videos to upload and post, but it takes so long to do it that I never seem to have time. Time is a valuable commodity of late and I won't have any after work because I have 2 homework assignments due. What a week.

She's been attempting to sit up lately. She'll do little crunches when she's placed in her carseat or butterfly bouncy chair. She has also been holding her bottle for the most part. She hasn't quite mastered the process, and tends to place her hands on the top which pushes it down and out of her mouth. She also can't seem to tilt it so she needs assistance, but every once in a while she nails it and can hold it through the whole feeding.

Gave her a little rice cereal with a spoon yesterday. Her faces are classic and we'll post video of that hopefully soon. She's learning not to push it back out of her mouth, and she managed to eat more cereal than she ended up wearing which is a plus.

She seems to be everyone's favorite at the daycare. One of the teachers from the 4 year old class says she loves relieving the infant teachers for lunch because she gets to play with AJ. Her little smile is infectious, even to those who work with babies all day long. The new girl at daycare is funny and so far I like her. Every time I've picked AJ up from daycare since the new girl started, she was holding her, playing with her or rocking her.

A-Train can't help it that she's the most awesome!
