Entertaining my daughter takes a lot of creativity. Yes, she entertains herself for a lot of the day, thank goodness. But (as we should) at other times we play. And often that play requires creativity to find something new to do. Oh yes, she'd do the same thing every day, but I need to shake things up for my sanity.
Yesterday I put her in the computer chair, and I carefully spun her around (which she LOVED). She looked so cute, and I took her picture, remembering that I had taken her picture there a few months earlier (early april to be exact). So I decided to compare the pictures.
In the earlier picture, she could not sit up on her own, and it was quite amazing that we could get this picture at all. (We took another picture of her at the same time in a bebepod, and she had a distinct tilt.) Now, she sits by herself, can rotate while sitting, and dance, and even can get herself to the seated position. She is so much bigger! And one more change, she smiles like crazy. Especially any time she sees the camera. And, on Sunday one of my friend's mentioned that she doesn't look like an infant any more, and looking at these two pictures, I can see what she meant.
ps- my husband mopped the floor, thank you!
