So, we had eaten dinner, and were having some hot chocolate: Isaac, Grace, and I were drinking it out of mugs.
Baby Vera started yelling (not crying or screaming, just kind of… yelling, and waving her arms to get our attention, basically saying “Hey! Hey! I want some too!”)
She would not calm down until we gave her something to drink (a small amount of water) in a cup with a handle like ours. She neede a little assistance with the fine adjustments, but had the basic movements right, and managed to drink some water out of a real cup, holding it (mostly) herself, and then she appeared to be satisfied and stopped yelling.
She was born October 29th. That puts her age at… hmm… exactly 9 weeks from her date of birth to the last day of December 2004, plus 10 weeks to the day to reach 11 March 2005, for 19 weeks, or if you measure by irregular calendar months, a couple of days shy of 4 1/2 months.
She is nearly crawling, too. We’ve got to start getting the house baby-proofed!
