On Tuesday, Steve let Elektra feel the sand in the sandbox with her feet. Didn't phase her one bit. Good girl!
DJ went down the slide by himself on Wednesday. He's such a cautious boy, and so this is a milestone for him.
As of Wednesday night, Elektra has been sleeping in her crib at home without a sleep positioner. I expected her to roll over onto her belly but she hasn't these past two nights. I found her on her back or on her side in the morning. We took most of the toys out of her crib though, and will put them back when she gets better at rolling around.
Elektra's favorite stuffed toys are a little white plush rabbit and her pink My First Doll that Eleanor and Sonny gave her for Christmas.
Last night, Steve was feeding Elektra her baby cereal. Until she figures out if she wants what you're feeding her, she only opens her mouth a little. Once she decides that she wants it, she opens up. She was opening up for the baby cereal (Oatmeal with bananas!) but when steve didn't put the loaded spoon directly into her mouth, she stuck her tongue out as far as she could go to try and touch the food with her tongue. It was a total Gene Simmons.
She loves touching things with her tongue....If she can put her tongue on it first, she will. She enjoys a game I play with her where I touch her tongue like I'm lightly rubbing the end of it with the pad of my finger.
DJ and Elektra "talk" to each other in the car in the mornings when I'm taking them to daycare. Elektra will squeal, and DJ will squeal back. And they go back and forth. It is so cute!
Elektra will hold Baby Evan's (Grace's little brother) hand when she's near him. And she's very interested in watching him, as if she's knows he's her size. But she also watches DJ like a hawk, and cranes her neck around to see what he's doing almost at all times.
Meanwhile, DJ wants to eat everything out of a bowl. He's becoming Mr. Independent! He's also starting to ask to eat what's on our plates. The other day, he tried a leaf of spinach that Steve was eating, and he ate half a NY Strip!
