The pterodactyl is back. After about a month of Kylie "talking" in somewhat reasonable tones this morning she decided we needed a little visit from the past. Bright and early this morning she rolled over to her tummy, patted her hands on the bed and let out a big, happy, pterodactyl screech. All day the screech has been mixed in with her sweet babbles, coos and very wet tongue-out spitting. We are pretty sure she is working on a few more teeth, she is constantly chewing on something (her own tongue if she can't find a toy) and today she seemed a little uncomfortable. Not sure if it's because of the shot she got two days ago, teething, growing spurt or just becoming more mobile. Speaking of becoming more mobile, her scooting is getting more coordinated and faster, I think she is starting to realize the benefit to being able to travel. This evening (I was trying to put her to bed, but she was way to wound up) I put her on the middle of our bed, she imminently rolled to her tummy and started scooting to the edge (our mattress is on the floor and next to it is her little mattress), when she reached the side with her mattress she pulled herself off our bed on to her own (about a 6 inch drop), the momentum she had going caused her legs to come faster then she expected and it forced her to roll on to her back, she looked at me, smiled, rolled back to her tummy and scooted off her bed toward the little night light we keep on the floor about 2 feet from her bed. This all happened in under a minute, it was wild.
Besides experimenting with her physical capabilities on the floor, Kylie has also started to do what a friend of mine calls "gym-nurse-tics." That's right, we no longer get to have calm, relaxing nursing sessions (unless she is about asleep), instead Kylie plays the game "how many different positions can I get in to while I still have a nipple in my mouth." It's pretty funny to watch her trying to crawl all over me while she still gets a little snack. I'm sure this will only get worse before it gets better, but at this point I'm just glad she is still interested in nursing so I will take the crazy acrobats.
Kylie had lunch with her Auntie Melissa, Grandpa and Mommy today, then she had a nice walk with Auntie and Grandpa while I went to the studio. She came and watched a little more rehearsal in the afternoon and we made a trip to the grocery store. All in all it was a good day, Craig is working his third night for the week, it will be so great to have him home for the next couple days.
More to come soon,
Natalie
