It's really interesting to watch the differences in the girls' personalities. Hannah LOVES food now, but when she was little, she wasn't excited even though she did eat. Abigail on the other hand has ALWAYS loved her food. She makes "mmm" "umm" "num" and other enjoyment noises while nursing and eating solid food. =) She is still enjoying cereal, but really likes her veggies. We've tried sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, and peas. In case you were wondering I have decided to make my own baby food again like I did with Hannah. Most foods are not that hard and it saves SO much money. There are a few things like pears that are more difficult to make really smooth, so I will probably buy those.
Now that she is eating more solid food we adjusted her schedule slightly. She is now awake for 2 hours and then naps for 2 hours. That means nursing every 4 hours instead of every 3 and two long naps. She will also go down for a shot nap during the dinner hour as long as we are home. And she still sleeps about 10 hours at night. =) No teeth yet, but she's had a slight runny nose and her bottom gums seem swollen. We still get lots of smiles and giggles from Abigail. And here's one of her new favorite faces.
Abigail may also be more active than Hannah. When playing on her tummy she kicks her legs when she gets excited and if she's sitting up she flaps her arms. Hannah loves to jump and run now but she was very laid back when she was younger. Abigail's newest trick is growling. She puts a toy in her mouth, chews on it, and makes growling noises. Not sure why she's making that noise, but it's funny to watch. She still "talks" all the time too. Her favorite happy playing sound is "da da da" and then when she gets frustrated she starts saying "ma ma ma." Wonder if it's her way of trying to get my attention.
Last but not least...a monkey photo! =)
