Remember that different people use different tables, and create their table-stacks slightly different to others. The end result is the same though.
This one is a bit longer and shows basic stacking - stacking plants atop Loguinn Dividers and stacked bookcases. She also touches upon the beginnings of the second-storey illusion.
Today was REALLY hot. It was sooooo hot I was sweating like crazy. I had big plans for today that included relaxing, playing with my dolly, relax, maybe nap, and then relax some more. My mommy had some other ideas.
My Mommy thought we should work on sitting today. I definitely did not enjoy this extra workout on such a hot day but I did my very best and do you know what? It paid off!!! I sat all by myself!!! I can only sit there for about 30 seconds each time but I'm getting there.
Well...... it took 10 months but guess what??? I can GIGGLE!!!! My mommy almost cried the first time she heard me. She thought she'd never hear such a lovely sound. Sorry about the video. My mom has no video taking talent.
Today was very busy for me and my Mommy. We had some running around to do today and I had my feeding group "Snack Attack" and a PT. My Mommy couldn't take pictures of the feeding group today because she forgot the camera. She did take a picture of my in my new special chair from Physiotherapy today. This chair is supposed to help me like to sit better. I am doing GREAT at standing and holding on to things but I really hate sitting. My legs are strong but my upper body has low tone. After my PT session I am always sooooo sweaty!! Hilda really gives me a workout.
Yesterday was my first trip to Zooz. I met a parrot who I really liked and a turkey. Unfortunately I had trouble seeing most of the animals even when my Mommy and Daddy took me out of the stroller.
Mommy thought it would be funny to take a picture of me in a hippo's mouth. I did not think this was so funny!
Let's just get it out of the way.....I hate to admit it but I am having a bad hair day. No, bad hair life. It doesn't matter how many times a day my mommy combs my hair it always ends up looking like it does in this video. So please don't judge me. I can't help it. I come from a long line of crazy hair people.
As for this video, I wanted to show you that I am officially on my way to crawling. Yes, it will be a long journey but I have started to balance myself better and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. In this video I see my dolly and I just can't quite figure out how to get it. I have already learned that I can reach my arm out to grab the toy but as soon as I do that I fall over. So now I lay on my belly and think, think, think...
I DO NOT like the sun very much. PERIOD. This is because I can not blink. It helps me beat all my friends in staring contests but as for going outside on a nice sunny day...forget it!! I do have sunglasses but I do not like them very much. Well today just happened to be a perfect cloudy day so my mommy decided to take me to the park. I got to try out the swing there for the very first time. I really was not sure what to make of it so for the first few minutes I did what I always do when I'm in an uncomfortable situation, I stared at my fingers, my favorite. After a while I decided to look around and then you know what??? I fell asleep. It turns out swinging is very relaxing.
Once mommy took me out I woke up again and I tried out the slide. I was not amused!! Mommy said we will come back later and try them both out again. Maybe I'll like the slide better when I'm older.
Today was the first day of my feeding group called "Snack Attack." It was lots of fun!!! Myself and four other kids that don't like to eat so much were allowed to get really messy with all types of food. My favorite was icing. We also played with Jello and Cheerios and used fun straws and Twizzlers in foil trays to make HUGE messes. I was the youngest and the only girl there but don't worry I fit right in with the messy boys (maybe even messier than them).
The group is supposed to encourage kids to play with food and explore different textures. Gradually our parents will put food on our face and in our mouth. I did this on my own today though. Hopefully by the end of the month I might be willing to try some on a spoon. I don't like spoons very much but today I did like licking the icing off my fingers and putting it all over my face and hair.
These pictures are from the first few minutes of the group. I was definitely covered head to toe by the end. We were colouring our paper with white icing. I had trouble seeing the white icing on the white paper but once it was on my hands I was quite curious about it. Mommy said she will take more pictures next week.
So apparently my mommy doesn't clean as often as she should because I was completely fascinated by this new thing I discovered called "the mop." Who knew cleaning could be so fun!!! I don't know why mommy complains about it all the time. Now I see why my dog Sally like to chase it.
