"Feeding" herself her oatmeal dinner, what a mess.


Post-dinner bath - I didn't want to take her out of the kitchen for fear of getting oatmeal everywhere.


It sounds like she's saying "mama", but I'm probably just reading too much into it.


Climbing the stairs, again.


She's a pole dancer at night

"Ah-bah-bah"

She speaks! Well, in her own Stasa language. Luckily I'm bilingual and can tell you she's saying "Hey, mom, please get your big legs out of my way. And hand me the remote."

31 Weeks Old

It is becoming way too hard to take these weekly pictures. I should have taken them on the ground since all she wants to do is launch herself off of the couch. Stasa cruises so fast now that we've cleared off every surface, otherwise everything is ripped to shreds before we can get to her. She is now saying "ah-bah-bah" all of the time and I swore I heard a "dada" in there today, but couldn't be sure.

We tried cottage cheese mixed with banana and applesauce for dinner, but she was not a fan at all. We'll try again each day since I think she's just not used to the texture of the cheese.

Yesterday was the first time we left Stasa with someone other than daycare. She stayed with Aunt Peggy while we went to the Redskins game for the night. We left her with a couple of bottles, a solid dinner and a water bottle. She did great! Aunt Peggy said she was a piece of cake and passed out by 7:30 PM. I think all of the growing she's been doing lately is catching up with her.

Plus her 5th tooth has finally made it's debut. She really is part shark.
