- da da -

yep, as of yesterday, ahniér's started saying, "da da" - talk about spike being a proud daddy!! - she's been cooing & making noises for some time now, but in church sunday, she cut loose! - it was one of those, "wow, did you hear that noise that i just made? - let me do it for you 1 more time, just to make sure that you know it's me!" type of noises - high pitched squeals & lots of 'em - it's now progressed on to starting to say 'da da'
`

she's doing so well in everything else except eating baby food from a spoon [sooo not interested!] - she'd much rather take it from a feeder as it comes quicker & she's all about food coming fast!

`

the other ahniér quirk is paci's - i'd posted awhile back here about we really wanted her to be a thumb sucker [i know, some of you will want to shoot me!], but she just couldn't find it - she'd try with all her might, but it just wasn't happening, so we gave up - we purchased about every kind of paci known to man & bought multiples of each of them all, 'just in case' she took to them - well, she gravitated to a specific brand that they give out at the hospitals & i was able to order them online & so i was thrilled [pictured below]

well, we now own 10 of these cute little things called 'gumdrops' & guess what??? - now, she'll not take one at all & you know what's even more crazy?? - she's now found her thumb! [or at least is beginning to] - i'm exhausted trying to keep up with this girl changing her mind so often, especially when she's only 4 months old!! - they say, "it's a girls right to change her mind" & i'm sure now that ahniér's read that book, over & over & over!
