This seems to be the week of new sounds. Isla's latest include a very high puppy-whining or cat meowing sound she makes with her mouth closed. She does it when she is unhappy and the pitch of it also makes her mamma unhappy. Graham has a key-finder contraption that is supposed to beep when you whistle for it. It has been going off when Isla whines--her new sound is that high!
Isla went on her first hike on Sunday afternoon. We hiked up to Rattlesnake Ledge with our friends Jeremey and Rachel and their dog Clover. I carried Isla on my back on the way up and on my front so she could nap on the way down. It was a 1.9 mile hike each way so it was on the easier end to break us in. It was actually quite steep but certainly doable. She loved it and hummed pretty much the whole way up.
My mom discovered that Isla likes it when you hold your pointer and thumb together and make buzzing sounds, pretending it is a bee flying around. Talk about cheap entertainment! She will literally track your fingers as they "fly" around and tries to bat at them. Crack up!
I think our little baby is ready to be a big girl. She saw her Daddy's empty drinking glass and literally almost threw herself out of his arms to try and grab it. When he finally gave in and handed it to her, she grabbed it with both hands, immediately brought it to her lips and tipped her head back to "drink." Whoa. She's been watching us!
This may sort of go along with the bee thing. I accidently discovered that Isla seems to like to sound of the letter "B" this week. I was reading her a book of "Baby's First Words" with picture on each page. Watch and see. She doesn't find any other word to be funny except for the ones that start with "B." Oh and notice her extra special grin when I say the word "Boy." :o)
that hat is awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteI need to get the next size of clothes to you! There's tons of 6 month in there and that reminds me that I need to mark things in that bin, maybe I'll do that soon and then I can get them to you. :)
