Look mom, no hands

I keep thinking that one of these days I am going to come home and find that India is walking. She is pretty steady now just standing. She looks so proud when she does it. So cute. A couple of times she has taken a little step, but stops at that point. I guess when you are a champion crawler, why bother learning to walk? I can't wait to hear her running through the house though.

Not a fan of water

We lucked out this weekend in the Seattle area, the sun was out and it was in the 90's on Saturday! Let's more of this weather is on the way. India enjoyed the sunshine, but like everyone else was very hot. We thought it would be fun to take her down to Lake Washington and dip her feet in, she thought otherwise. She just hated it. Later we bought her a baby pool thinking she would like that, she likes normal bathes. Nope, hated that too. Hopefully she will learn to like being in the water on a hot day.

Our girl is growing up

Little miss India is growing up quicker then I can blog. She now has two teeth, which are quite sharp. It's pretty funny, she used to chew on her own hands, but with her razor sharp teeth she only wants to chew on Jeff or I. Last night she attacked my elbow, and to be honest I was surprised that she didn't draw blood.

She is on the verge of crawling. She gets up on her knees and elbows and kind of throws herself forward which is fun to watch. She gets around though, between rolling and her version of crawling she can move from one end of the living room to the other. While we are excited to see her moving, this means that we need to start childproofing the house.

We have started feeding her vegetables, and she is still on the fence about them. So far she has tried the following items:

• Squash. Has tried 3 times, liked it once
• Carrots.
  
• Avocado. She really seems to like this, so I will probably start mixing other vegetables into it, and see how she likes that.
  

Damien Rice Fan

India is such a huge Damien Rice fan it makes me laugh. Whenever we have his CD's on, she gets a big smile on her face. What good taste she has. When she gets old enough to talk, I will have to censor a couple of his songs though!

Post-op appointment

India had her post-op appointment today. The Dr. said that everything looks good so far. She has to keep getting eye drops for the rest of the week, which she is not a huge fan of. We have our next appointment at the end of the month to make sure everything is on track with her little eyes.

Recovery

India's recovery time from her surgery has been crazy quick. Except for looking a little bloodshot in the corner of her eyes, you would never know that the kid just had eye surgery. She has a post-op Dr. appointment tomorrow, but from everything Jeff and I can see she seems to be doing fine. It's odd to look at her and have both her eyes looking back at you.

Why not

Blogs are the in thing, so why not one for India. She is coming up on her 5 month birthday, so it's time for her to get on board with the digital lifestyle.
India has recently started eating rice cereal, and some eating sessions are better then others for sure. Tonight she decided that she just wanted to play with the food instead of eating it. Her bib was just full of cereal which was really quite gross. I think that she just enjoyed trying to eat the spoon. Oh well, we will try it again tomorrow. Maybe I would have better luck if I soaked by shirts in them since she is always trying to eat my clothes.
