Words....

Matt and I have not been doing a good job of writing about Naomi in our designated baby journal. Since words are words, and typing is faster (and, in addition, maybe some other friends/family of Naomi would enjoy reading about her as well as seeing her pictures...) I am going to try to start writing regularly on this blog about Naomi. (We can always print these things later to go somewhere else...)

Today, I think I'll start with a few things Naomi likes and doesn't like.


Things Naomi loves:
--being changed (diaper)
--itsy-bitsy spider (I believe this is her favorite song)
--saying "Ah-Yah!", "Gah!", "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh", and "Zjhzzzz"
--being carried in the baby bjorn (though it does not put her to sleep anymore)
--slobbering and eating her hands
--playing with ribbons and hair, but not toys
--"standing up" on someone's lap
--having someone shake the bed when she's laying on it
--being held
--laughing and grinning ecstatically in response to someone smiling at her


Things she neither loves not hates:
--being kissed
--being bathed
--being changed (clothing)
--falling over from "sitting up"
--spitting up


Things Naomi really, REALLY hates:
--when somebody sneezes
--the neigh that her stuffed horse makes when you squeeze it
--being tired
--being left on her stomach too long (can't roll over yet)


That's all I can think of for now. More to come...

Smiling.
"Reading"
Sitting.

Naomi patiently waiting for someone to clean up her diaper blowout.

Naomi "sitting" like a frog with her feet in front of her. She can hold herself up (or not so up, as I guess would be a better description) like this for maybe 10 seconds or so.

Getting Stronger...

Naomi is starting to be willing to spend a little more time on her stomach than previously, and has been pushing her chest up with her arms and pushing on her knees.
