Lottie's Goings On

UPDATE: As of Wednesday, Lottie has 6 teeth. The other eye tooth showed up.

We are 1.5 weeks out from Lottie's first birthday, and she has been busy, busy, busy working on new things. I touched on some of the new things in a past post. I included an update on those things here as well as several new things she is doing.

Teeth
Lottie cut 5 teeth in a month. She has both front top and bottom teeth and 1 eye tooth. I managed to get a picture of all of them. Not sure what face Lottie is making here, but she is showing off all her pearly whites (you can even tell that the second eye tooth is about to come in).

Signing
I finally caught a video of Lottie signing "more."

She is not a big fan of having her diaper changed since it means pausing her playtime, so she has started signing "all done" as soon as I lay her down for a diaper change. It cracks me up.

Crawling
Lottie now exclusively crawls on all fours, and boy, can she move.

Pulling Up
Lottie pulls up on anything and everything. She can bend down and pick things up and sit down without just letting go and plopping down. She even tries climbing things.

Cruising/Assisted Walking
It was a matter of days before pulling up led to cruising around furniture. She can pretty much get anywhere and into anything by cruising around the living room. She keeps us on our toes. The coffee table has to be kept virtually clear of everything.

Lottie has also started walking with the train, her early birthday gift from Chris and I. She will go up and down the living room over and over again. The first video is from Thursday, the 19th and the second is from today. In just 4 days, she has already improved a lot and gained more confidence!

Sidenote: For whatever reason, Lottie loves this video of herself. She cracks up and does the mouth and tongue stuff with the video.

Dancing
Lottie has started dancing to music. It includes bouncing up and down and swinging her arms side to side. In a couple years, I hope to get this girl into some dance classes!

Cow's Milk
Lottie is drinking whole milk now in addition to breast milk. She seems to like it though sometimes she just lets it flow down her chin and everywhere. We aren't sure if she is still adjusting to how thick it is or if she thinks it is fun, but she sure looks silly sometimes.

Eating
Lottie will eat anything and everything. The only thing she refuses are peas. She devoured corned beef and cabbage on St. Patty's Day. One of her favorite meals is black-eyed peas and cornbread as well as refried beans and taco meat. She also loves green beans, bananas, and cheese. I think she is becoming quite the little foodie. She even makes contented yum noises while eating.

Electronics
All I think is "What a fascinating and modern age we live in" (Master & Commander). Lottie is already beginning to work our electronics. She knows to swipe my phone to unlock it.

She also will swipe my touchscreen laptop. She recognizes the play symbol on touchscreens. She even figured out what to press on the screen to turn the page on a read-a-loud book. Finally, she understands that the buttons on the PlayStation remote works the TV, so she will get the remote and press the buttons while watching the TV. She can get into crazy places in Netflix.

Like I said, this little girl is busy, busy, busy. It blows Chris and my minds that she is still doing new things every day. It is incredible to watch.
