Liberty Is NINE Months

Liberty is growing so quickly and moving all over the place! She’s really taken off with her crawling, especially when it comes to following Canton around. She tried crawling on Nanny’s cold tile and definitely noticed the temperature and difference in traction! She is great at cruising too, not sure if she’ll beat Canton’s walking at 10 months but she’ll do it before July I’m sure.

She pretty much has the best fine motor skills of any baby I’ve ever seen. She is a pro at finding anything and everything off the floor. During her time here in FL she has Rhonda rolling with laughter over playing with her hands and acting like she has hair between her fingers.

No teeth to report on, but she is still a great eater. She’s tried yogurt and a few more fruits and veggies. Pears and oatmeal are still her favorites.

She’s been waking up a lot during the night while practicing standing, but generally she is sleeping from 10-630, so I can’t complain too much.

Liberty still is much more laid back than big brother. She is usually SO happy and loves to laugh, until she can’t get where she wants and then watch out!

She’s been doing a much better job at letting people besides me hold her, still can’t say separation anxiety is gone, but it’s much more manageable.

Liberty doesn’t say too much while big brother is around, but get him out of the room and she jabbers all over the place. She can say “mama” of course as well as “da-da”, “bruh bruh” which is for Canton, and we’ve heard “Hi” a few times, but not enough to say it’s a word I think.

We’re very lucky to have our sweet (and LONG) girl!

The Four Little Pigs

Canton has been very into retelling classics in his own way, he likes to dramatize and change the stories. He thought the three little pigs “seems like they could have made a better choice. I would make a house of iron. We need to redo the story with a fourth pig, he’s the smartest one. You could still hurt brick, but he couldn’t get through iron.”

Canton the Painter

Canton took his stuffed animal Bentley to school a few weeks ago for unit on fantasy. He did a great job with his painting, only getting help on the size, he did the painting all by himself, given his previous attempts at art (definitely not his forte) we were pretty excited about this creation.

Liberty showed her approval too 🙂
