More of Bee...

Betsey is busy, busy, busy! She is up and starting to get down the stairs all by herself and moving around the rooms now along the furniture, making messes of our kitchen floor and literally using her thumb and index finger to effectively fill her mouth with dust, lint, paper, buttons and anything else you can not possibly tell is on the carpet until you notice she is busy with something in her mouth. Poor girl always has someone else's fingers jammed into that two-toothed mouth looking for whatever she is gnawing on. She still only has two teeth and she loves chewing on her own tongue. It is kind of unique to her, she just pulls her tongue out of the side of her mouth and chomps up and down like it is a teething toy.

She gets herself stuck in some funny places...

She spits up nastiness all over the house...

She gets only about 10% of her food in her mouth...the rest lands on the floor. Have I mentioned she is obsessed with eating? I love it when she knows food is on the way. She opens her mouth, drops the binky to the floor and proceeds to open and close her mouth making saliva rich noises like she is already tasting something. Sometimes I drag this out a little because it is really entertaining. If you let her know food is on the way when there is still preparation involved, she'll usually scream and growl at you pretty intensely while you get her food ready.

Eating messes are getting intense, so sometimes a quick sink bath makes everything all better again. Sink baths have been known to thrill my children well into their third year of life. This was Betsey's first.

We love Sophie the Giraffe. Every baby should have one of these. I know they are expensive, I wasn't going to buy one, but was thrilled when someone gave one to us. I actually think that I want her to like it more than she does, but I love how soft it is for her to chew on and that it has so many great chewable and grab-able parts. I just love it!
