So I found my toes. It turns out you just lie on your back, reach your hands down, and then use your abs to pull up your feet, and voila! Your toes are right there at the end of your feet. It helps if you enjoy the happy baby yoga pose, or happen to be a happy baby with really open hip flexers. I enjoy doing this on the changing table or right before bath time. This pose also helps with one of the other things I was into this month - starting to roll part way to the side and occasionally all the way over.
This was a good month. I got much stronger I am getting better at sitting with support, and I like to 'stand' (with more support). Many more things make me smile, but especially Amma when she zooms in and makes fun noises. My smiles are getting bigger (even if they are hard to catch on camera). And...I had my first laugh. It isn't a full-belly laugh yet, but it is quite cute.
One of the things I like a lot is my nightly massages after my bedtime bath. Amma sings to me, naming body parts as she goes, and I get moisturized. After a book and nursing, I am off to bed, and on the early side (definitely asleep by 7pm). Of course I still wake up every 3 hours or so to nurse; we will see when those nighttime feedings slow down.
The big event this month was Thanksgiving. I got to meet a lot of Amma's family that I hadn't seen before, wear a fun turkey shirt, and spend some time with grandma and grandpa (including a trip to a nearby cave).
This month I am thankful for family, for hooded bath towels, and for milk.
