Here is another update on what June has been up to lately. A few of these I forgot when I was posting about her 6 month accomplishments and a few are new since then.
1. June can take apart her name puzzle. Not as cool as putting together a puzzle, I know, but I'm still impressed.
2. June can hold her own bottle. She has been able to do this for awhile now, probably since around four months.
3. June had her toenails painted for the first time for St. Patrick's Day!
4. June had her first Big Girl bath. Since she can now sit up on her own, we figured she would enjoy playing in the tub. We were right.
5. June's first tooth broke through on Friday night, March 16th. Thankfully, we had no clue it was coming. Since then I wonder if some of her crabbiness is from sore gums, but overall she has been a very happy teether so far. I know its hard to see her tooth, but I promise it's there.
6. June can drink out of a straw. This video isn't very good and she has gotten much better since then, but you get the idea. I think mostly she just enjoys letting the water run down the front of her shirt, especially in this heat.
7. I don't have a picture of this and I can't figure out how to post the videos so I'm sorry, but you will just have to imagine. June has this little farm touch and feel book that she absolutely loves. This, if anything, will be her motivation for learning to crawl. She will pick that book out of her pile of toys and chase it around the room. Poor girl, whenever she reaches for it, she pushes it further away. This leads to frustrated grunts and a lot of hard work to move her body closer to the book again. She will do this for up to an hour before becoming too frustrated and I give in and hand her the book. It has been amazing seeing the different ways she maneuvers her body to get to where she wants to be. I'm sure we are only weeks away from a crawler and then we are in big trouble.
