Happy birthday, Miss PD! You are two years old today. You were born on a snowy day in a speeding van and you have the energy of someone born at 50mph! By all miracles, you were born without complication and in perfect health. The tenacity you showed me during your birth is apparent in your [...]
My baby is one! This was her one year ago. And here she is as a big one year old. We had a big birthday week for her beginning with a little playgroup bash. I made pink minicupcakes with a bit of whipped cream on top. Miss Petrie Deux is eating everything, including peanut butter. [...]
Miss Petrie Deux is 11 months old! She weighs 20.5 pounds. She got her first ear infection this past month. Her molars are coming in. She’s quickly growing out of the infant car seat (see above). But I do love the cozy little blanket I can cover her with and the fact that I can [...]
Miss Petrie Deux is 10 months old! She’s crawling and cruising (standing up and walking with the aid of furniture). She loves to eat. She waves hello. Miss PD is an independent spirit! She wants to feed herself. She will play alone for lengths of time. She really dislikes having her diaper changed. Miss PD’s [...]
Miss Petrie Deux is 9 months old! She says mama, dada, baba and imitates lots of English sounds. She scoots to move around. Her hair is brown and her eyes are light brown. She has her daddy’s curly hair. She’s jealous of attention that I give to her sister. Miss Petrie thinks it’s hilarious and [...]
Miss Petrie Deux is 8 months old! She has had a busy developmental month. Miss PD can say “Dada” and a myriad of other clear vocalizations such as ya, da, ba, my, and oh. She does a version of a hand wave that looks like opening and closing her fist. Miss PD has her top [...]
Where have these seven months gone?? Miss Petrie Deux can use her body for locomotion now! Miss PD rolls around to get to objects or people and pivots while sitting up. She eats blended veggies and drinks water from a sippy cup. She weighs over 17 pounds. She slaps her hands when she’s happy. She [...]
Miss Petrie Deux is six months old! She had a big month for development. She got her first two teeth (the lower central incisors) and she can sit up by herself. I tried to get pictures of her teeth, but she kept sticking out her tongue before I could snap a pic. Miss Petrie Deux [...]
Miss Petrie Deux is 5 months old! She is chubby, her hair is starting to come in ruddy and slightly curly, and her eyes are a hazel green color. She naps every three hours or so during the day. She smiles, laughs, and screeches loudly when she’s happy. She loves the water in the tub [...]
She’s 1/3 of a year old now. I can’t believe how quickly these first four months have flown by. Miss Petrie Deux makes all kinds of conversational noises, laughs at things she finds funny (like when I let her “ride” our dog, Rufus), and she stays on her tummy with her head up for several [...]
