Growing fast

Cupcakes had several interesting stories this week.

1. Mama forgot to bring a clean swaddling blanket to daycare for Cupcakes. (Yes, several people are surprised to hear that Cupcakes still likes to be swaddled at this age.) New morning teacher Miss Eva did not know and used just another blanket on Cupcakes during the morning nap. Cupcakes looked down to check. She cried when she saw that it was not her blanket.

2. Mama also learned that there is a soft blanket that Cupcakes likes to hold during naps at daycare. (She doesn't hold anything at home.)

3. Cupcakes calls her Puppy "pup-pup."

4. Once Puppy was next to Cupcakes as she was nursing right before bedtime. She would turn to Puppy during each break and give him a kiss (mouth around the paw) - awwww.

5. Cupcakes loves to dance and loves the happy birthday song. She becomes quiet as soon as the song comes on in the car and dances to the song at daycare.

6. Cupcakes' appetite has increased to 4-6 oz of milk and 4 oz of baby food from 4 oz of milk and 2.5 oz of baby food.

7. She has become very mobile, pushing herself up to standing position and sitting back down.

8. She is teething again and had another ear infection. After her chiropractic treatment one morning she wanted to play on the floor even though she didn't feel 100%.

9. Daycare has a bigger blanket for her to play on now that she's bigger. She has her own toys - a cell phone even!

Cupcakes features a new outfit from ahgong and ahma. Mama got her some 12M pants, but they were too long. Grandma got her 9M pants with matching tops. Cupcakes has cute clothes from both ahgong, ahma and also Annika!
