Remi & We

Remi’s first word?

Remi watched as Anna walked out the door for work. She stared at the door for several seconds waiting for Anna to return. When Anna didn’t appear the tears started. The sound accompanying the tears wasn’t the usual baby babble. She was saying, “Mama, Mama, Mama” over and over.

She was all into “Da” sounds a couple weeks ago and we thought she was going to say “Dada” at any point. No such luck. She likes Mama more.

Even though she will say, “mamamamama” with no connection to Anna the above scenario has repeated itself enough that I think it’s pretty clear she knows Mama = Anna.

She turned 7 months old yesterday too!

Update: it’s been a week & no more “mamamama”. Maybe it was only a sound she discovered for a few days. Either way, I’d say this was not an official first word.

This is a mish-mash of short video clips of Remi being Remi. Posted so those of  you who don’t see her every day can see how she is doing.

Big for 6 months?

When we take Remi out people are constantly surprised when they discover she is only 6 months old. Is she really big for her age? Compared to other babies we see she seems about normal…I do think her legs are pretty long though.

6 Months old!

Remi is now 6 months old!

She is sitting up on her own, eating sold food (when we have time), playing peek-a-boo, and fascinated by the cats.  Oh, and she has her first two teeth!

Still no crawling.  She “swims” in place a lot but hasn’t quite figured out how to put that into forward momentum.  She has become a master of pulling things she wants toward her.
