Brigitta's July POTD

July 7: Are the cookies done YET?

July 9: Rebel Without a Cause- crawling under the desk to pull on all the cords.

July 11: A bit of light reading

July 20: At the hotel in Madison, WI. She loved crawling the halls.

July 24: First experience with an Oreo and she expertly pulled it apart and ate the cream first!

 Aye mi... another month has rolled by. As you can see from the final photo, Brigitta's teeth finally descended although the initial one is still longer than the others. I love that little snaggle tooth! She's started cracking some other teeth along the bottom and her face has changed with the added dental work. She's done amazing in her swim classes and honest to goodness tries to swim by both splashing her arms and kicking her legs. Brigitta's taken her first few tentative steps this month. Just this week she also started folding her arms for prayer before breakfast. Sooo adorable because she can only really grab one wrist with that chubby, dimpled hand. We are working on some simple words like "up" and "milk" but her favorite is definitely her signature "hi". In the mornings she usually plays a bit in her pack and play and when I poke my head in and say, "Is that my BABY?" she gets excited and climbs to stand at the edge so she's ready to get out. She's also getting fussier about messy diapers and will madly slap at it and yell at me until I change her. Once I had her on the changing table and had wiped up the mess and disposed of the offending diaper. She took the clean one and was honest to goodness trying to put it on herself! Hopefully this means potty training will be a breeze down the road. She's discovered the books in Ireland's room and love to rip them out (ALL of them) and "read" through them. When she's done with that, she usually chews on an edge for a while. August brings her 1st birthday so I think we are done for the monthly POTD's but it's been fun to see the transitions she's made! Love this girl!!!
