Well, Makayla finally figured out her mobility. She’s moving all over our living room (especially under the Christmas tree) and all over her room. She also crawled from her room into the kitchen. In addition to crawling, all she wants to do lately is stand up. She can standup by herself if she as something to push up on (like a box or stack of books) but she’s still working on pulling up. She can get on her knees by using the coffee table but that’s as far as she can make it for now. This also means she’s been taking more spills and tumbles. Everyday she has a new red mark or bruise. Thankfully she inherited our hard heads.
For food this week, we introduced potatoes and asparagus. She couldn’t quite get the hang of eating asparagus but she loved the potatoes. In fact, she might like potatoes more than bananas!
We also had our first Christmas with the Starling side of the family last weekend. We learned that Makayla has a penchant for tasting wrapping paper and tissue paper. She had a great time hanging out with Mema and Poppy and opening/eating presents!
