Sonia now has the two teeth on the bottom that came in in late August, and now, two more that appeared around about November 1st. The latest two are on the top, but not the top middle two, rather the right middle one, and the tooth next to that on the right.
She says "Kitty" lots, but she has two ways of saying it. The first, is the "K" sound followed by a rolling of the tongue like you'd do to make an "R" sound in Spanish. It's hilarious. The second way that she says "Kitty" is to scream at the top of her lungs, that wonderful baby girl scream of delight. That means "Kitty" too. She's taken to screaming mostly in the last week. She's discovering how loud she can scream and how high. Don and I aren't annoyed yet as we still find it funny. I'm sure that won't last forever.
As of the last two days, she's taking as many as five or six steps in a row before deciding to sit down. Yesterday, she actually turned after a few steps and began walking in another direction for a few more before sittting down. Everyone tells me my work is just about to increase lots. Somehow I believe them.
Sonia is still on a very regular nap schedule, which is nice. She sleeps for 2-2.5 hours each morning, beginning around 10am. Then, she sleeps for 1-1.5 hours in the afternoon, beginning around 4pm. I think God invented naps just as much for mothers as for babies.
She eats just about anything now. Sometime she eats baby food, but mostly it's just whatever Don and I are eating for supper either mashed or cut up. She does well with Cheerios and diced apples (the usual breakfast) and really loves cookies, although I don't give them to her often. Bread and crackers are also favorite foods.
As of the last doctor's appointment about a month ago, she weighed 18 pounds and was 26 inches long. This puts her in the 25th percentile for weight and the 75th percentile for height. Tall and skinny like her father. It fits that her body should take after him since her facial features all do too. Daddy loves having a little girl that looks so much like him. She is wearing mostly clothing for 6 mo. old babies. Some 9 mo. old stuff, but mostly still in the 6 mo. range.
