Moving Time!!!

I have been trying to find time to write, but we are moving soon so things have been a little crazy. Piper has been a great sport through all the packing and furniture shopping. We have literally been to Miskellys a dozen times and she didn't fuss not once. She actually had the final say on the living room furniture and might I say she did an excellent job! HaHa! We should be in the new house by the end of the month, and I am hoping the move won't affect her much. We are planning on living there until we move out of Ms; then we will be purchasing or own home.

Piper is doing great with potty training. She has started to become very aware of what is actually happening when I sit her on her potty. I always sign potty before we enter the bathroom and again when I sit her down. She looks down to watch what is going on and looks up at me smiling when she is finished waiting for me to praise her. It is the cutest thing to watch how excited she gets when I clap and tell her good job. She still hasn't had a bowel movement in the potty because they are so irregular I never know when it is coming. I think once she starts eating solids at six months it will be easier to time.

It is amazing how much a baby can change in just a week! Piper has decided everything in reach is a toy. She is a little wiggle worm and refuses to sit still. She climbs over me to try and reach things that she is not allowed to play with such as phones, remotes, keys, and pretty much everything else that shouldn't go in her mouth. She's also very talkative and will carry on a conversation with my as long as she has my attention. She has also taken to sucking here left thumb.

Piper has recently started getting up on all fours. She doesn't stay up for long, but it is definitely a step towards crawling. She is also able to sit up without support for a few minutes and is great at keeping her balance. I put a boppy pillow around her to keep her from falling. She has been able to stand and bear weight on her legs since about three months.

Daddy put me here!!!



We had an exciting weekend! We made a trip with Granny to see her horses!

Karah. You have a beautiful baby girl. I love what you are doing with her regarding the sign language and the early potty training. I agree. I think it is very important and logical to teach them those things. You have turned out to be a wonderful mother and I enjoy your blogs!!!
