She has become self-aware

Remi is self aware.  It is only a matter of time before she views us as a human infestation and turns our own weapons against us.

She saw a picture of herself and, without thinking, blurted out, “Remi”.  Of course it sounds more like “Wemi” when she says it.  She may be self-aware but she still can’t pronounce the letter ‘R’.

She turns 1 exactly one week from today.  I have a feeling she might be talking before walking. She has “momma” and “daddy” down and is getting better with many other words that do not contain ‘R’.  “That” is a favorite of hers.  Some combination of “Meow” and “Bow Wow” means any for legged animal.

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.

Picture 2

Remi is hooked on her first TV show: HBO’s Classical Baby series.

She has noticed TV for brief moments but nothing has quite captivated her like this.  She will sit in her Boppy and watch Classical Baby for a full 30 minutes.  I’m not quite sure what she sees but she cannot tear her eyes away from the show.

It’s all short vignettes (2-5 minutes each) of classical music playing to animated versions of famous works of art. Full credit is given to the composer and artist (for mommy & daddy, presumably).  I can’t wait for the next episode to find out if that two-timing Kandinsky is finally going to fall for Tchaikovsky or that egotistical hussy Wagner.

Sleeping through the night?

It appears Remi is about to take another big developmental step.  She has flirted with sleeping through the night for each of the last 4 nights.  We don’t quite count any of these recent sleeping performances as “full night” because she either went to bed at 1:AM or she had to wake up once during the night.  Still, the times she has woken up hungry have been much shorter and only waking once instead of 3 times is a major improvement.
