3 things I forgot about May, until I read this

December 2010, a week before this post was published

Whaddya hear? Whaddya know?

Three things I forgot about until I re-read this archive post from January 2010:

  1. How loudly May used to snort.
  2. That there ever was a pre-teething phase.
  3. The endless exercises we tried to help May hold something to her mouth.

And, of course, that May is adorable. Never underestimate May’s superior power of cuteness.

In all seriousness, I was reminded today to appreciate every moment. Small moments like these are not insignificant. It was that thought which led me back here.

Without further ado: This week I’m… using teething biscuits from the archives, January 6, 2010.

_______________________

In our household – we fear teeth. May is readying herself for teething. It is coming.

Stick a spoon into her mouth these days and it may not come out. Chomp! Stick finger into her mouth – chomp, chomp! There are benefits to not breastfeeding.

This has led to a great triumph. May’s ability to use her hands improved this week because she loves teething biscuits. Easy to grip and, oooooh so sweet!

In the video below, I held her under her upper arm, but I didn’t guide her. I steadied her arm, but she did all the work.

If she masters this, it could lead to all kinds of amazing things. Better hand control. Reaching for interesting objects. Feeding herself.

Congrats to my little monkey!

Did this exercise from back in 2010 help May reach her potential in 2012? Find out in the next post!
