kj seems to be growing & learning something new everyday! the day she turned eight weeks was the first time she definitely locked eyes on her own hand and then moved it in a controlled fashion directly to her mouth. ever since, she has been practicing this trick of getting hand to mouth, and from there it's a little random whether a thumb gets sucked, or a finger, or a whole fist. only occasionally will she gag herself with a finger or such & look completely puzzled about why such a thing is happening! still a little work to go, but she's on her way.
along with control of her arms, she's also gaining a lot of stability & strength in her neck, back, and legs. she loves to bear weight on her own legs & look around the room. nj will regularly prop her up in the sitting position on the couch for reading time or just to hang out together. she generally needs some help with all these things, but check out how strong she looks in her new seat yesterday!
yes, her hair also seems to have taken on some super-human strength. this is post-bathtime with daddy in charge. :)
she is such a cutie!! I think the hair suits her :-)
