This week I got really good at a lot of things that I already liked to do. I mastered my spoon--or maybe I like what is on my spoon so much more that I don't want any of it not to go into my mouth. As a reward for my efforts, I added bananas, pears (absolutely my favorite), and applesauce to my diet. My balance when sitting has improved a lot and I can sit unassisted for a several seconds before Mama's hand comes in to help me. I reach for toys and now can easily put my own paci in my mouth.
This week I met Mary Pope Osborne (Magic Tree House books) at a book signing with my cousins. And although this week did not bring a lot of daytime naps, it sure brought tons of smiles and sweet (and often much louder) noises everyone's way.
