Ok, so a while ago I had posted that I felt like my daughter just didn't like me. She liked her caretaker better and didn't seem to get excited to see me. Things have changed, and I LOVE IT! Elizabeth is not clingy, she doesn't mind strangers, checks them out, and once she has deemed you as 'sufficiently normal' she will start to flirt and play. I like that she isn't clingy (yet), but I absolutely LOVE that she gets excited to see me or Mark. She has started groovin', kicking her legs bobbing her head, and when she gets excited, she starts moving both!
I was asleep on the couch on Sunday afternoon and Mark was feeding Ellie her bottle at the other end. After she was done they were playing and he lifted her enough to see me. He told me that she got the biggest smile on her face and started 'groovin' once she recognized that the big lump on the couch was mommy! :o) That made my day!
I may have a little groovin' girl, but that little groovin' girl is showing no signs of really being interested in crawling. She sits incredibly well, and has to lean pretty far to topple over these days, and even then she just maneuvers herself onto her tummy to keep playing. She will play on her tummy without getting upset, goes up and down on her hands, but hasn't really tried getting her knees up under her yet. I'm not anxious for her to be mobile quite yet (although I've already started reorganizing the kitchen so she has access to as many drawers as possible and all other untouchables will be a few locked cupboards), but it's also hard hearing about other babies crawling already. I guess she's just content doing what she's doing, so i'll wait for her to let me know when she wants to start moving more!
