You're crawling! January 16: The day after your 6-month birthday, you moved forward on your knees and hands. No more than 4 steps at a time, but it's great progress.
Lately you've been testing various forms of commute to take you around a room - rolling like a sausage, swimming on the carpet. But your mind was set on crawling. Every time we'd put you on the floor, you'd practice. I'd get on my knees and show you how, and you'd try to do the same until you got tired, and frustrated by the difficult task. But you made it. you are yet to perfect the move to take you further in your expeditions, but it's only a matter of days.
You're eating! We've been slowly experimenting with food for the last few weeks. A bite here and a bite there. On your birthday Mommy made a meat broth with mashed potatoes and carrots. That's what I call an adult dish. Our baby food processor is not pureeing the pieces enough for you to swallow with ease.
You ate a few bites at a time, but it didn't excite you like yogurt. I planned on giving you a few spoons of yogurt last night, but you finished the entire portion with great appetite. Then you smeared it like lotion, on your hands and feet until they were covered in a layer of white paste.
You're not going to bed! Zoe, It's 11:30. Go to sleep. You are sleepy, but you insist on staying up. You used to go to bed at 9:30. Little by little you pushed your bedtime, and now it's bordering midnight. Last night we put you in bed at 11:15. You started crying. We decided to let you cry it out, but the cries became louder. I peeked in, and found you sitting on the bed, facing the door and crying in the dark. When you saw me, you looked at me with terrorized eyes, begging to be rescued from a distressful situation. From what? I picked you up and brought you back into the living room. You are a happy baby in the company of mommy and Papa. Happy six months!
