Myka seems to go through spurts
where she learns lots of new stuff and how to do new things within a short
period of time. Lately has been one of those times. I still can’t get over all
of the new things she’s doing and trying! I’m sure every parent feels that way
with their kids, but since Myka is my first, humor me. ;)
She is finally getting adventurous
in the food and beverage department. We finally decided to start introducing
cows’ milk to her. It didn’t even faze her the first time and hasn’t seemed to
upset her stomach. Now we can get rid of the Godforsaken formula! Yay! One week
recently she FINALLY decided to start eating really chunky food too. John has
been mixing up plain REAL yogurt with oats and fruits for Myka’s breakfast some
days and she LOVES it!
Most exciting of all, though, she finally
tried a finger food AND fed it to herself! She even let us feed her a piece of
banana, carrot, and a tiny piece of breadstick. Lol I’m sure some of you are
thinking, “What’s the big deal? Most kids are eating some finger foods by the
time they’re one.” Not Myka. She’s weird about food textures, so this is a HUGE
deal.
She still either hasn’t figured out or is
just too lazy to hold her bottle or sippy cup upright, but at least she is
finally doing what she does with her bottle with her sippy cup and lays down
and drinks it. Lol Better than nothing, right?
Myka is finally starting to walk around
the furniture a lot more too…Unless you’re watching her and she knows it. Haha
She’s been doing this for awhile, but I
still think it’s funny that (most of the time) she helps us dress her. She will
stick her legs up one at a time for us to put socks, leg warmers, and sometimes
pants on. She also knows when to bend and straighten out her arm when we put
her shirts on, which is really helpful!
My proudest mommy moment, though, has to
be when she used the potty. I’m sure some of you probably think I’m full of
crap and the rest of you probably think I’m nuts, but that’s ok. It’s not like
we force her to go or sit on there long, just for the record. ;) We don’t even
do it that often.
Anyways, she hasn’t gone any more since I
wrote this, but that’s ok. Veteran’s Day I set her down, said “go potty”, and
she did! Too bad it’s not that easy all the time with all kids! Later, after
she had a nap and bottle I thought I would see if she needed to potty and she
ended up going #2 instead! The day before that she went #2 on it as well. (We
did cheat on that one and “caught” her before she pooped in her nice, clean,
nighttime diaper. Lol)
What fun or major things have your
children learned recently? Brag away! ;)
