I don&#8217;t know why I can&#8217;t just let that be enough, but I have to take it to the next level, which is, she will be one in only 4 months. It really has gone fast. Guess it always does. So here is an update of Megan: She is fully on solids, 3 times a day. Still on #1 foods, but eats all of them. Alyssa did that too, so there is still time for my poor eating habits to rub off on Megan. She sleeps about 11-12 hours at night. When we are home, she takes 2 good naps a day &#8211; I seem to miss her naps more than I recall doing with Alyssa. She sits unsupported. She pushes up on her knees and even toes. She can belly scoot (slowly) to something she wants. I saw her yesterday get to her knees in the garden, then push up to her feet. She makes good noises when she has a cheerio in her mouth, but is quiet alot of time. She can say da-da. She can find her paci in bed at night and recently can throw her paci out. Now really, what is the point of that! She is great!<\/p>\n<p>There are lots of new photos. Here are a few to show the things that go on in our house . . . daily.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.whaleylife.com\/photos\/d\/1638-1\/IMG_8834.JPG?resize=400%2C266\" border=\"0\" height=\"266\" width=\"400\" \/><br \/>\nTV watching<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.whaleylife.com\/photos\/d\/1644-1\/IMG_8877.JPG?resize=400%2C266\" border=\"0\" height=\"266\" width=\"400\" \/><br \/>\nSome sister playtime<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.whaleylife.com\/photos\/d\/1648-1\/IMG_8929.JPG?resize=400%2C266\" border=\"0\" height=\"266\" width=\"400\" \/><br \/>\nAnd some Alyssa playtime.<\/p>\n<p>She is great on the computer. She has icons on the desktop that take her to PBSkids.org or Sesame Street. Then she has 3 CDs that she can switch out and play games on too. It is nice that she enjoys this and sees playing on the computer as great as watching TV. I feel less guilty about her using fine motor skills and actually thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry for the hiatus, hope you feel caught up (Melissa).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Honestly, I cannot believe my girl is 8 months old.
