Lennox is full of new tricks these days. But they are usually only done on her terms. She's not one to show off that is. She can clap her hands, sign milk, sign food, give kisses, give hugs, wave bye bye, wave hi, shake her head no, dance, stand up on her hands and feet, and sit on her knees.
And she can crawl! She started off really slow, almost invisible... When I first thought she learned I kept trying to catch her doing it but was unsuccessful. I knew she could do it because I kept finding her in new places. She only did it when no one was watching and as soon as you looked her way she stopped. I tried for an entire day to catch her doing it on video but never got it. Then after about a week she really took off and now there is no stopping her. To her, nothing is off limits and she only thinks you're kidding when you tell her "ah ah ah". She crawls after her sister and follows her down the hall, into the playroom and into her sisters room. When it's bath time and she hears me turn on the water, you better believe she stops whatever she's doing and makes a mad dash to the bathroom. I can't seem to keep her away from the stairs or the dog food!
She also has the sweetest sounding voice. She was been say a few words lately. She can say "Hi" and "Uh oh" and "Da Da" and she also sings along to her favorite song when it says "High, high, high!". Her favorite song is the "Goodbye Song" and she can do all of the coordinating hand and feet motions that go along with it. It is pretty much the cutest thing ever! She loves music and when Harlow sings a song she tries to sing along with her but it just comes out in one long howl. And she loves to dance along to a beat, waving her arms and rocking back and forth. I love that my girls love music so much.
Lennox has one tooth and another about to pop through any day now. Thankfully she hasn't shown any discomfort from teething. But it is still early and they are still pushing through ever so slowly. I love catching a sight of her teeth in her big gummy smile these days.
She hates to have her finger nails and toe nails cut. I feel like I have to wrestle her down and use all sorts of different tricks to distract her. She's got a nice swift kick with some pretty good aim when you're trying to cut her toe nails.
It's safe to say that she truly loves her big sister. She crawls around following her all day and as soon as Harlow puts something down Lennox is sure to pick it up and check it out for herself which usually doesn't end well when Harlow notices. She loves to laugh when her sister tickles her or makes funny faces and sounds at her. And her favorite is when Harlow pretends to fall. Lennox will let out a belly laugh every time.
I love this little baby girl of mine. It's crazy to think that I never pictured her in our lives. I always imagined a boy and a girl and now I have two girls. I think having two girls was just what I needed. Seeing their sweetness together makes my day every day! Even when I am frustrated, tired, and just need a break one snuggle from her and her sister and I completely forget about it.
She'll be one year old soon and I am dreading the day. Please don't grow up too fast Lenny Mae. I love you being my tiny baby!
