Saya, the good eater

Miss Saya is a very adventurous eater. She is not satisfied with pureed baby foods anymore, so I give her bread, rice with veggies and meats, broccoli, spinach, baby carrots - the real foods. She grabs anything I put on her tray and start chowing down all by herself. Even Alyson wasn't this easy in terms of food, so I am quite impressed with her. Her grasping skills are very solid. She can manage to put almost anything, however small it is, in her mouth.

Her scooting skill is improving, too, and she can move a little faster now. She really enjoys moving around and when she puts her mind on grabbing a specific toy, she just goes for it. She protests pretty loudly when someone else snatches it from her. She's starting to "talk" with Alyson she really enjoys the interactions with her sister. I think they will be good friends. I am working very hard to teach her clapping and I think she might have done it once or twice. I have seen her wave bye-bye, too. She's getting to be in the age where you see a lot of changes, from a little baby to a bigger fun baby.

Noah had a good day at school today. He likes his teacher, CJ, and I think they are already tight. He came into the kitchen this evening and said "Mama, Mama, Mama" to me and it was really sweet. I think the stimulation he is getting from being away from home is going to help a lot.

Sean's doing better, too, but he does have good days and bad days. I got upset with him today because he pushed Alyson down the stairs. Aly was OK, but it was really disappointing because things were improving in recent days. I am not too excited about the mid term break they are going to have in a couple of weeks. Sean doesn't do too well when his schedules are different.

Aly has a favorite skirt and it's pink and fluffy. She took it out from her room and asked the nanny to put it on her. She's so funny.
