Anatomy of a Child's Stomach

I saw this on facebook and thought it was funny and very true. This reminded me of Brinley, my niece for sure!

Water

One of our biggest challenges with Alyzah is with drinking water. If Alyzah sees a cup, it's all down hill from there. She is obsesses - no not with the cup, with the water. She's not a fan of juice, only water. For mom to drink during the day, I have to go to the kitchen and drink as fast as I can before Alyzah rolls her way over to the kitchen to see what I'm doing (she's quite fast). Hence why most days when Alyzah goes to sleep, I realize I haven't drank anything all day. And forget a sippy cup, you can't get it away from her. She has her mom's stubborn personality and if her mind is set on something, it's set and hers is always set on water.

Personality

Alyzah is starting to develop a personality and it is soo cute. She is 7 1/2 months old. She does so many things that just crack us up. I will have to try to get videos of them. She repeats sounds she hears us say - so we say Ugh, and she says Ugh, then we say Ugh, etc. She starts it off and makes crazy off the wall sounds and expects you to imitate her and say them back to her and then she laughs. She loves peak-a-boo. She makes a few crazy faces and wants you to do them back to her and then again she does it, you do it, she does it, etc etc. She snorts when she laughs. She loves to type on the computer and opens about 50 windows in a matter of minutes. She loves music. She goes crazy when you turn the radio on or put videos on youtube for her. She is quite the little personality. I laugh just about all day long.

And she just started pulling herself up from a sitting to a standing position the other day!!! Yay! Now if she would just stop army crawling and actually lift her body up with her knees... :)
