Baby girl is nearing 7 months of life. There's not a whole lot of mind blowing things to blog about. For a girl she's still lacking hair, she's not bald, but it's still pretty thin and trying to grow in ever so slowly. She's sitting up by herself, but the whole idea of crawling isn't really working. I think she may learn how to stand up on her own before she crawls. Babymamma and I have thought she's been teething since 4 months ago. What do we really know, Babygirl was drooling a lot, and always had her fingers in her mouth, needless to say at 7 months, she's still pretty toothless, but has some great gums for dentures if we ever wanted to go that route.
Other than that I have the distinct pleasure of feeding Babygirl some food, usually some kind of pureed veggie and fruit. I try to keep the messiness down, and try to instill some order so there's not a lot of playing with food, so far it's going well, and oh she's eating well too. Of course what goes in must come out, so our days of "clean poop" are long gone. Let's just say things are a bit more messy in every way possible than the good ol' days.
Speaking of the good ol' days, it's almost hard to imagine the little infant I held with one arm that barely moved or cried, is now bigger, bolder, and even cuter. She's really exploring her surroundings, responding more to people, trying to interact with others, developing some autonomy, pretty cool things to be a part of.
Part of all this growing up and reaching developmental milestones is the countdown to actually talking. I keep wondering what the voice of my child will sound like, this for me is more exciting than her running or catching a frisbee. Which leads me to wonder when George Lucas was thinking about what an Ewok and R2-D2 would be like, I wonder if he a little baby in the house. When I think of Babygirl, all rollie pollie, clumsy with her motor skills, but still very cute, that's probably a good way to describe an Ewok no?
Well Babygirl is also reminding me of every one's fav droid. There is nothing decipherable about how R2 communicates with others, it's typically a whirl of high pitched beep, blips, screeches and flat tones that allows R2 to be understood by others. Quite similarly, Babygirl likes to shriek in high pitched tones, grunt and roar like a Simba, and make other noises that put her closer to a droid than human. For now it's cute, and I just play along and make various sounds back. No worries I also talk to her like a human quite often and read with many different English accents. But no where have I read that part of speech development is to sound like R2-D2 before graduating to talk like C-3PO. For now, I continue to enjoy doing my best James Earle Jones impression, "Babygirl, . . .I"m your father."
