Bernadette has the best initials in this family: B.L.T. (My FAV-o-rite fruit!)
She's made a lot of progress in the past couple of weeks. All of a sudden she can sit up and play. Just today, for the first time, she sat up on her own from laying down whereas until today we had to physically sit her up.
Also, in the last week, she has learned to crawl. Now that she can crawl she's not interested in staying on her blanket of toys. She wants to explore. Oh boy, no rest for the weary now! I better grow eyes on the back of my head. . .
She's showing off her teeth in this picture. She got her first one at 4 1/2 months and then her second about a month later. And then, again just in the last couple of weeks, three more sprouted.
Bernadette loves to eat all of sudden, too. (All that crawling must make her hungry!) Her favorite food is sweet potato with guacamole a close second.
She spends a lot of time on my back in a back-pack. This frees up my hands to cook, clean, grocery shop, etc.
She certainly doesn't suffer from any kind of lack of attention. We all adore her. She is affectionately called "Boo-dette" by Jacinta and Bernadette, Bernadette, Bernadette-dette-dette (to the tune of the William Tell Overture) by Nunzio.
