Emily's trips around the apartment are becoming increasingly . . . aggressive. She doesn't much like to sit still now at all, no matter which toy we try to tantalize her with. She tosses it aside and immediately is off. If a door isn't completely closed, she will push it open. Our apartment doesn't seem big enough, and we worry that she's bored. Does she need some new kind of toy? A little jungle gym? A keyboard? Should we play with her more, or just leave her to crawl around and figure things out (like why wires don't taste so good)?
She's also on a solid food strike. This is apparently typical--they start to want to feed themselves before they actually can. She closes her mouth, firmly, turns her head, and swats angrily at the spoon. J came up with the idea of wrapping Cheerios in sticky fruit as a finger food, and this has worked somewhat--she does eat some of it, though more of it goes on her clothes and the floor. Oh well, babies are supposed to be messy, and we've certainly kept her unnaturally clean so far.
The dustbuster obsession continues. Last night I actually used it and she came crawling rapidly towards me to be near it.
