progress update

The Fasu is 8 months plus one week. Not yet crawling but showing slow signs of progress. yesterday i put her on all fours and she didn't crash. she kinda rocked back and forth and then finally landed on her butt. she is also learning to enjoy her belly time a little bit more. she is a pretty good scetter but only backwords. i love the way the reaches for me to pick her up. she still loves her blanket. yesterday i forgot it at school and had to rush back to get it because i know she can't take a nap without it. believe me, I have tried. amazing what a simple receiving blanket can do for a baby.
the fasu also learned to get from a sitted position to being on her belly. now when there's a toy that is out of her reach she can get to it by going on her belly from sitting. i am so proud.
she also enjoys standing but still cannot support herself. she likes to play with a keyboard that makes music while standing next to it.
today i will back her bouncy and "university". she is too big for them.
i plan on working with her continuesly on crawling. we put her on her belly and put food or toys in front of her. she tries to reach but still hasn't learned how to move forward.
The fasu is very talkative. she says mama and dada and nana...i love answering her as if she said something meaningful. i try not to baby talk her too much but it's hard because it's so much fun.
here's some pictures taken with aunty. she has already moved out to a nearby apartment and doing well at work. the fasu misses her a ton and so am i.

My Baby

My Baby is funny. She likes to shake her body in total happiness. She smiles big when she sees her puppies or when she sees a cookie headed to her mouth.

My baby makes my heart bounce. I often look at her and cannot imagine how was I so blessed to have such a wonderful baby come into my life.

My baby has a good heart. Don't ask me how I know but I just do. She is going to be a very compassinate and loving person. I can tell.

My baby is a little bit timid. I guess like mom like daughter. She doesn't like to explore her physical abilities like other babies. She takes her time in learning how to crawl or stand but I am trying to show her there's nothing to be afraid from.

My baby is a good eater. She loves vegetables, bread, milk and waffles. I think she'll have a sweet tooth like me. She really enjoys waffles.

My baby is a good sleeper. It's an absolute pleasure knowing that she goes to bed at seven pm or so and wakes up when I do the next day.

My baby makes me happy even when bad things happen. I can have a bad day at work, but looking at her and "talking" to her takes the bad away.

My baby is beautiful. She had beautiful big currently blue eyes that it's hard to look away from. She has cheeks like a hamster. I just want to kiss her all the time. Pretty soon she'll wipe my kisses. Right now I enjoy her inability to protest.

My baby is my life. I cannot imagine life without her. I want to protect her from all that is bad and pray that she'll be happy in whatever she'll choose to do with her life.
