happy 7 month birthday to ees-nano!

things she likes:

• reading.  she likes looking at books and listening to me read to her.
• wheels on the bus.  she loves it when we sing to her and help her go “round and round”, “swish swish swish”, and do the other hand motions.  it makes her giggle like a little girl.  oh wait, she is a little girl.  i guess it just makes her giggle.
• sleeping on her tummy.  when she sleeps on her tummy, she sleeps through the night (6+ hours).  actually, i should say that mommy likes it when ees-nano sleeps on her tummy
• pulling hair.  mommy doesn’t have very much hair left.  whenever i find mommy’s hair on the floor, i announce “mommy’s hair” and bring it back to her.
• hanging upside down.  she also likes flying through the air and doing back flips.  i think she’s going to be a gymnast.  or maybe she’ll be a circus act.

things she doesn’t like:

• laying on her back.  she gets all wiggly and flips over super fast.  i think she thinks that diaper changes are a game.
• crawling.  well, i guess it’s not that she doesn’t like crawling, as much as she hasn’t really tried it yet.  by the time i was her age, i was crawling everywhere and pulling myself up to stand.  ees-nano just lies on her tummy and flaps her arms and kicks her legs.  she doesn’t even try to army crawl.  i don’t get it — why doesn’t she want to follow me around the house?
