Bottom Tooth

So, we tried to get a picture of her bottom tooth, but she kept getting her tongue in the way. This is the best we could do. Stubborn girl does NOT like people looking in her mouth! We're pretty sure she's working on another one, but we're not 100% sure which one.

Bath Tub

Some of Cecilia's prime play time these days is in the bath tub. She really loves it, so I got a few pictures. Remember, I don't always post all the pictures to the blog, so be sure to check out the facebook links for updates.

Laughing At Paw-paw

Stuart and Kathy were playing with Cecilia and dish soap bubbles after dinner tonight. Stuart really had her going! Ben got some of the belly laughs on video. So cute!

Update on Pregnancy #2

It was suggested that I make sure I blog about this pregnancy, as well as the adorable Cecilia. So, since this will be the only baby book our children have (an intentional decision), here we go.

I have been much sicker with this baby. The morning sickness has been bad enough that I got SeaBands accupressure bands for my wrists. They actually really work! I also got ginger ale and ginger root gum, which helped a little. Lemon drop candy DID NOT work as suggested. Crackers were also not usually helpful when I was feeling really bad. My morning coffee became a thing of the past, as did a lot of foods.

As week 9 has come, the symptoms have improved. I still get queasy, but it is nothing like it was for the last 2 weeks. I can drink coffee again! So, the questions is, does that mean this is a boy or twins? People keep talking about twins, and I just want to say that I am not going to consider it. Three babies under the age of 2 is too horrendous to think about. Plus, as I've said before, I truly believe this will be a girl. What I think is that this baby will give me more pregnancy symptoms but it will be one girl with a more even temperment then our precious Cecilia. You know, do things like breastfeed, play on her own for 5 or more minutes, and eat solids at an appropriate time. Although, another Cecilia would be wonderful too (we do love her more than we can say). We'll just have to wait and see!

Waving

She's been gradually getting better at waving, and during the Super Bowl this year, she really started to do well. We've gotten a couple of videos (uploading on YouTube right now) that show her new skill. She got distracted during the first video because she had to fill her britches! All day today she's been waving at everyone, waving at the walls, waving at anything! What a smart baby!

To the Fireplace!

Cecilia walked her music table to the fireplace all by herself! It was a long trek, and she enjoyed exploring it. It's behind glass, so she couldn't get in it.

Standing On Her Own

On Sunday, it was only a few seconds, but Cecilia stood by herself and she didn't even fall. She was playing in her toy basket (laundry basket) holding onto the side and picking up toys with her left hand. She would pick up a toy, wave it around over her head, then put it back in the basket. She also loves to do the "so big" game and put both hands over her head. In the midst of picking up toys, she raised both hands over her head doing "so big" while standing by the toy box. It was a brief few seconds, then she went right back to playing in her toys as if nothing had happened. In the meantime, Kathy and I were watching her and saying "Did you see that?" She won't sit up on her own or crawl, but she has now stood on her own.
