- scoot and roll all over the living room
- pick up objects and hold them herself
- drop them in favor of other objects
- babble
- focus on me reading multiple books in a row
- suck on her toes
- interact with people on Skype
- eat some rice cereal mixed with breast milk
- recognize herself in the mirror
And probably a lot more. That's just what came to mind first.
Yesterday morning I woke up at 6am to pump. I was just managing to fall back asleep at 7am when Clara woke up and started fussing. After I fed her she was still pretty wide awake, so I put her down on the living room floor and layed next to her. We just layed on our sides facing each other, and she kept reaching out with her little hands and touching my cheeks and hair, like she was trying to grab my face. She snuggled really close to me although she kept switching from back to tummy and back again. She kept putting her face really close to mine and brushing mine with her hands. It was a really cute, peaceful moment.
Our family's life is very hectic right now with Jack getting back into classes and cutting back on work, and me trying to ramp up work, keep the apartment in reasonable order, and fine time to work on my own project. It's a little overwhelming sometimes but I'm so glad we have Clara. We both love her intensely and it's hard to imagine a life without her now. Plus I think it's probably more straightforward to figure out education and career and paying bills than it is to figure out relationships, marriage, and having kids, so if I had to pick one or the other I'd pick the setup we have now.
