Miss Independent


Nola is a happy independent little girl.  She gets where she needs to go... holds her bottle (for several months now).... loves her pacifier and pops it in when she wants.  The pacifier and the pacifier leash seems to be her "taggie" or comfort.  Lately I have been saying "mama" and she yells real loud "DA DA DAAA DAAA". 

She can't sit still especially on the changing table... always on the move.  Within the last week she loves to see the world from her feet which means I hold her hands and she puts one foot in front of the other and walks.  She gets the biggest kick out of Lionel and even shares his bones when she gets her hands on them.

Sleeping isn't an issue for Nola except for the fact that she only likes to sleep in HER crib.  She goes to bed around 6pm and wakes around 6am.  Goes back down for a 2 hour nap at 8am... then again around 12.  Today she sleep from 12 - 3:45.  I can brag because Karter was the opposite.  He needed to be soothed to the highest degree.  I have been reading to Nola and she plays for a little then off to dream land. Her crib bumper are permanently pushed down so she can see when someone opens the door.  As soon as the door opens she beems from ear to ear.  Karter is almost always the first one in her room.  He insists to be the first one in.  They truly love each other and get enjoyment from one another.
