- Does anyone else have (or used to have) a moody-picky eater? One day Bethany loves hot dogs, and the next day she won't touch them. The stand-by foods for her are mandarin oranges, plain tortillas, cheese pizza, and peanut butter (licked from a piece of bread or an apple - or just her plate). But other than that, I never know what will make it in her mouth and what will end up smashed on her tray or on the floor. I do know that meat will NOT make it in her mouth - even chicken only lasts for a bite or two before it gets spit back out. She does love any kind of "sauce", though - ketchup, spaghetti sauce, applesauce, or anything else dippable - and will happily lick it off of the food that it's on.
- Bethany is imitating us like crazy these days! Even our voice inflections and non-verbals come back in her interpretations. The other day she was talking to herself in her crib before I got her up, and I heard her asking herself one-word questions and replying to herself with "mm-hmm" exactly the way I answer her when she keeps saying something over and over.
- She still mixes up sounds in words occasionally. The most recent one is "nos" for "snow."
- I usually know when Bethany is doing something wrong, because I hear her quietly say to herself, "No, no, no!" I have to stop laughing before I go see what she's up to.
Bethany & Co.

Bethany and Sam (our upstairs neighbor)
Why won't they both smile at the same time?

My favorite pic... kiss, kiss!
Yea for a new post! How is subbing going this week? Did you guys have any snow? We had such great November weather that I am dreading going into winter...so I think I'm switching doctors because every time I go in there, Dr. Ultmann makes me feel like the worst mom in the world! At his 1-year check up, I expressed concern that Reed isn't talking and instead of reassuring me that he's a boy, etc, etc, she referred me to an audiologist and early intervention services!!!! More updates in the Christmas card!
ReplyDeleteNo subbing this week. :-( I got a baby-sitter for Bethany today and then got NO calls - that's never happened on a Friday! Our snow is just starting here... flurries for the past couple days, but I have a feeling it's the "beginning of the end."
ReplyDeleteWhat?! I can't believe Dr. Ultmann... that's ridiculous. I think I would've switched sooner or later if we had stayed, partly because of their office staff. Oh well...
First-borns usually are the least picky eaters. So I can only imagine what #2 is going to be like :->
ReplyDeletehaha, so i gather bethany doesn't have the concept of "no" down very well, other than its association with certain behavior?
