And what a banner month it has been for her. The beginning of this month saw her cutting her first two teeth, crawling, and pulling herself up all in the same weekend. Later that week she blessed us with her first words of Mama and Daddy and two wobbly, totally unsteady steps of her own. Now the end of the month brings us the beginnings of waving and clapping. She is definitely focused on moving and has gotten quite fast and quite strong. Pulling herself up is not a problem and while Joaquin never wanted to wear a diaper because he just wanted to be naked, Rhiannon doesn't want to wear one because, well, it is just too hard to stay still long enough for us to get it on.
She has also started to show people preferences even while remaining very social. So she'll happily go to others, but when she's done, she likes to push them in the face to get away. And if she wants your attention, but you are not looking, she will pull your hair to get it. This happens quite frequently to Joaquin, who is the most hilarious person ever to her, and he has been a great sport in getting his hair pulled.
Favorite song: Head, shoulders, knees and toes
Favorite activity: Taking things out of a big container
Favorite foods: Pears, oranges, cucumbers
Joaquin's favorite joke right now: What's bigger than a submarine? A bigger submarine!
Joaquin's reasoning for whatever he wants to do or have now is that it is his favorite. Why does he want a granola bar? Because it's his favorite food! Why should he wear that hat? Because blue (or white or gray or whatever it might be) is his favorite color! Why should I stop on the PBS kids channel? Because Zula Patrol is his favorite show!
