Today has been a day of accomplishment for Bean. She is now crawling on hands and knees; the army crawl still gets used, but she’s definitely using the other method, especially outdoors. <\/p>\n
But that’s not all! <\/p>\n
As of today (who knows what neuron finally developed?) she claps her hands. Sing the “If You’re Happy and You Know It” or play Patty Cake and that starts a round of clapping. So cute! She looks very proud of herself, and delighted. And when I say “kiss kiss” she makes a kissing noise. At the playground the 2-year-old son of a friend gave Bean a kiss on the cheek. He loves babies. When he attempted to give her another one, she turned her head as if to try to kiss him! We had a good laugh — and a glimpse of the future. (Eek!)<\/p>\n
But wait! There’s more!<\/p>\n
She drank from her sippy cup. At first I helped by holding it, but soon she grabbed it and ended up consuming 3 ounces of water from it.<\/p>\n
Bean also played in the park sand today. She didn’t put it in her mouth. She desperately wanted to put a toy<\/em> that was in the sand in her mouth (the wheel of a little dump truck) but I’d say no and redirect her. She went home with socks full of sand and dusty clothes. I think we’re entering the days of daily baths now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today has been a day of accomplishment for Bean.
