Landry is such a happy girl with so much personality. She has so much expression in her little face and lately has mastered the furrowed brow. She loves to make anyone, but especially her brothers, laugh and can be such a ham. For instance, riding in her cars eat with her paci backwards so the boys can see and laugh or giving us her spoon for another bite by holding it in her mouth. We love it!
She has become a great sleeper and sleeps through the night every night now. Yay! And lately she's even started sleeping in until 8! As a result, she's down to one nap most days. I'm so grateful for her good sleep.
Landry also continues to be a great eater. She's game to try anything and likes almost all of it. She easily out-eats the boys during dinner. She still loves meat, pasta, and fruit and also loves peas. She does great with milk, too. She's started eating more from a fork or spoon and can even stab most of it herself. I'm amazed at her hand eye coordination at this age. She gets a big, proud grin on her face every time she gets something on her fork.
She's also finally really clicked with signing and I think it's really decreased her frustration and screaming. Some days I had felt like all she did was yell at me, but it just occurred to me last night that she hasn't done that in awhile. Her most common sign is please and she uses it vigorously anytime she wants anything. She also does milk, drink, and all done. She hasn't really done more ever, but now please suffices for that as well. She's not talking much, but has so much expression in her voice. She hardly uses "gaga" anymore which was the universal word for Diego, babies, and any animal or child.
Landry's big accomplishment lately was learning to stand on Thanksgiving. We were at Nana and Papa's and BJ had her on the floor. The last couple weeks she'd been getting better about standing and barely holding on to us. He had her on her feet and let go and she stayed up! And now she can do it for quite awhile. Steps aren't too far behind I'm sure! We're all excited for her to walk.
She still has no interest in TV and minimal interest in toys in general. But she is really good about focusing and working on something that requires dexterity. One time she had a pen and one of Macy's bones and she sat for several minutes getting the pen in and out of the bone. She loves piecey-type toys that she can grab and put into something. I'm still trying to form some solid Christmas ideas for her.
She is quite busy and loves to get into cabinets and toilets. We have to keep an eye on her upstairs!
We love continuing to see her personality develop. She's a little girl with a big personality for sure!
