I haven’t written much about my daughter lately, but I think I’ll dedicate this post to her. She has learned some new “skills”, that my husband and I find hilarious.
The first being to stick out her tongue. Compliments of her grandmother (my mom), when she was playing with her and attempting to get her to mimic. Well, now she is like a little lizard baby, always sticking out her tongue. It’s so cute and hilarious because she only sticks out the tip, sucks it back in and gives this big giant grin.
The second, which I’m not quite sure where she learned this one….it may have been from me to be honest, is to blow raspberries. If you don’t know what that is, let me explain: it’s when a baby sticks their tongue out and make a razzing sound. Her raspberries are also accompanied by spit bubbles. This is now how she greets me in the morning, just blowing raspberries and smiling, very pleased with herself.
The third, she makes little spit bubbles and then sucks them back in, smiling and giggling to herself. She thinks it’s so great and I can’t help but laugh at it.
This fourth one even impressed me, and it makes me wonder if she has inherited my double-jointed ability. However, my husband read that this is a very common baby thing. As of today, she can now bend forward, literally folding herself in half and puts her toes in her mouth. I was astonished and instantly started laughing. I called my husband over to see what she was doing and his immediate response “Is that okay for her to do?! Is it NORMAL!?” He then proceeded to read into it and felt better afterwards. I’m a relaxed mom I guess, cause it made me laugh. Just sitting on mom’s belly then boop!…folded forward and toes in the mouth. Makes me chuckle just thinking about it.
Another one which I’ve discussed before is her rolling. Ever since she’s learned to roll, she is constantly doing it. It’s impressive to watch honestly and we make it a game with her now. Just rolling her back and forth as if she’s on a swaying ship, it makes her laugh and smile. If she’s amused, I’m happy!
It’s been a beautiful adventure watching her learn new things and she picks them up so quickly. I can’t wait to see what she will pick up next in her “skill” set, but I’m really looking forward to it! I have a feeling those raspberries are going to come with some sassy when she’s older.
I’m a proud mama of this silly little girl and I wouldn’t change it for the world!
Until next time..
Ciao!!
