First fever of 39.3 dC. Thankfully after 24 hours it went down, and after another 24 hours she was back to her normal self. The doctor suspected it was a virus and thinks she has a great immune system.

We started touring pre schools for September 2013 start, and researching schools we would like her to go to after that.

Had a fantastic first mother’s day this month!

Developmental:

• Crawls! Started tentatively, and by the end of the month is zooming around the house on hands and knees.
• Started waving at people, starting with a stranger on the street. Does a really cute pageant wave.
• Claps her hands together
• Said “mama”, “dads” and “dog” at the dog, Pixel, we had staying with us for 10 days.
• Really agile – can twist and turn, move easily from front to back.
• Tracks people and objects really well with her eyes. 
• No stranger danger so far – so outgoing and social, really loves people in general, but a bit funny around strange men.
• Hands us items like toys, food. 
• Reaching to be held.
• Started sitting up in the crib and pulling herself up. We had to lower the crib mattress.
• Top two front teeth came in.

Enjoys:

• Loves being played with, thrown in the air, sang to, read to. Getting really interactive and laughs a lot when played with.
• Bath time. Loves playing with her toys, and tries to hand them to us. Also trying to climb out of the tub.
• Getting more snuggly – finally! Nothing is better than a snuggly baby.
• Baby and mommy yoga class.

Sleep:

• Started getting some separation anxiety during the night. Won’t be soothed by Alec, must have only me. 
• Some great nights of one wake up, but plenty of more than that, including the week where she had a fever.
• When we go in to get her when she wakes, she is sitting up in the crib and reaches to be picked up.

Food:

• Loves bagels, cheese, yoghurt. A pretty good eater in general and is getting much better with hand-eye co-ordination too. 
• Can feed herself with her fingers.
• Can drink by herself from a sippy cup.
