We've been having a lot of fun this last month. Abigail's gotten to be quite the giggler lately. She loves having her tummy tickled, and holding her upside down in the air always gets a laugh. Well, it does for me, anyway. She's usually not a big fan of anyone else holding her upside down, but she's decided that she can trust Mom, so that's a fun game.
Her other new favorite game is sucking on her toes. A few days ago she realized that she can pull her foot up to her mouth and get her toes in there, so that's been pretty funny. The only time it's a problem is when I'm trying to change her diaper and she's got her toes up to her face. It can be hard to get the diaper around her waist like that! It's always a little funny after she's eaten and her tummy is too big for her feet to reach up to her face. She gets a little frustrated sometimes, or else she'll just pull too hard and squeeze out a little spit up trying to get her toes up there. She's also working on getting her heel into her mouth, but so far she hasn't had too much luck on that front.
Adam and my new game is MarioKart. Ever since Adam's parents gave him a Wii for his birthday we've been trying to find MarioKart, and on Monday I finally found it. I like it a lot it's so much easier than any of the other systems! You just put the Wii remote in the steering wheel and drive. Adam's been having a lot of fun with it, too, so we're pretty happy that we finally found it.
We're a little bit afraid that Lucy is regressing. She's back into a bite everything stage, and she's always trying to show that she's dominant over me. She's figured out that while I'm feeding Abigail, I can't really do anything with her, so she'll take advantage of that time to get up from where I told her to stay, or jump up on the window and bark at things, or whine incessantly, or bite things she knows she isn't supposed to bite. I'm hoping that she just has too much energy pent up from not being able to go outside too much lately. We had some remnants of Gustav last week, so the ground is just soaked. I can't decide if it's a good thing, though. When it dries up a bit she can play outside again and hopefully be better behaved, but it's going to be a LONG winter if she decides to be a punk. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!
