Since Brantley hit her 6 month mark I have been introducing some new items to her daily business.
She has become very adept with holding the bottle...
So I thought the logical next step would be her own cup...
Not so much. She just chews on the spout with no interest whatsoever for the water inside. Perhaps if I tried to lay her on the Boppy with it she would grasp the concept that there is something to be sucked out.
Our newest new thing is shoes. We had a lovely family outing on Saturday to the outlet mall in Gulfport. "If you build it, and they have children, they will come and spend lots of money". Brantley got several new additions to her rapidly expanding wardrobe, stuffed animals (they were TWO for $12, c'mon!), and some new kicks. Her first pair of kicks. Precious little Stride Rite Endless Summer sandals. Yes, I am the same person who said "People who don't walk don't need shoes". Oh, how she has shown me the light! However, these shoes are obstructions to her oldest & dearest toys-her feet! We haven't actually put them on her & ventured out but they may be a "wait 'til we get there" item like the headbands with bows. And how long will they last once we get there? Only Brantley will tell...
