The doctor said to keep doing what we're doing because everything is looking great. What a relief to finally have a doctor tell us everything is good! Haha. As we left, Neriah waved 'bye' and the Dr. said Neriah is really smart for her age! But we already knew that. :)
Neriah's new favourite things to do are:
- army crawl every where, especially where she knows she's not supposed to be (like in the laundry closet)
- play with the books in the book shelf, where she always ends up hitting her head/face and crying
- push onto all fours as well as onto her hands and feet
- scrunch her face up while breathing quickly through her nose
- chew on anything and everything
- try to pick up fuzz, coins, pieces of paper, etc., and put them in her mouth
- jump like crazy in her jumperoo
- scream, shriek, growl, and generally be very monster like
She's also officially hit the separation anxiety phase, and usually cries if she can't see me, or if she can see me and someone else is holding her (even when it's Daddy!). Though I kind of like it, it sucks that I'm the only one who can comfort her.
Neriah still wakes up every two hours at night to eat, but is starting to sometimes do some three hour stretches.
All in all, life with my little wild thing is exhausting, but amazing! She's so smart and is learning something new every day. Being a mommy is the best!
