- Mary Claire said her official first word "Bye-Bye". She has been saying MaMa, DaDa, BaBa, and ByeBye for a while now- but it has been more or less just babbling. Now if we say, "Mary Claire, it's time to go bye-bye. She will wave and yell Bye-Bye, Bye-Bye with the biggest smile! It's the cutest.thing.ever!
- She will stand alone for a few seconds now. I'm still not convinced its on purpose, but she does it none the less.
- Still almost walking. She is a rock star at walking behind her shopping cart (starting her off right), pushing her baby stroller, or holding your fingers, but hasn't yet taken her first solo steps.
- We have graduated to more, and more table food. She LOVES maderine oranges, french fries, green beans, rolls, steamed carrots, well actually we haven't found anything this sweet baby doesn't like- and I hope to keep it that way!
- She took her first antibiotics e.v.e.r this month :( Mary Claire came down with a terrible cold the eve of Christmas Eve, and of course we were out of town, and of course everywhere was closed for the night. So we spent Christmas Eve morning at my old pediatricians office. Dr. Sanio told me I get mom of the year award for getting both doses of the flu shot, up-to-date on all vaccines, and this being her first dose of antibiotics. Go Me!
- And maybe the best thing ever.... She gives Kisses! They are the wettest, sweetest open mouth kisses you will ever get.
Love her!
