Peek a Boo





The other day Jonas and I were playing on the bed with Lilah before her evening bath. She kept picking up the sheets over the head, and then throw them back down and smile so big. We don't often play peek-a-boo so it looks like she discovered it almost on her own. We'd say 'Where's Lilah?, there she is!' each time. What a fun little girl. She can move around a bit on her bottom now, and this week has just started to get up on one knee with the other leg folded underneath. She's great at easing herself onto her belly from that position too to get to something out of reach. She is feeling better after her ear infection business, but we did return to the doctor for a recheck and she was still inflamed, so he prescribed another antibiotic. The visit was awful though, and he was so slow at checking out her ears (not our normal pediatrician). She screamed so hard and long that she busted the little capillaries in her face and scalp and ended up with little red dots all over her. Poor child. She was still doing the gasping sounds from crying hard twenty minutes after our appointment. Needless to say she got some extra extra momma love that day.
She has also become shy in the last week. When strangers say hello when she is in her car seat, she turns her face into the side of it to hide a bit. When I am holding her, she turns her face into my shoulder. It is really cute, but I didn't think it would happen this soon. It much more often happens with men than women. I think because we see women all the time in playgroup and walking and such, and she doesn't see many men other than her daddy.
She loves playing with her playgroup buddies, especially Nick, our neighbor. They get so excited when they see each other, it is really cute. We went to the water park the other day with Bernie and Nick for a field day with Bernie's daughter and her class. Nick and Lilah played in the water and we got some cute pictures. What fun babies!
