a crawling starfish
february 27th, 2000

so much has happened this past month! the starfish can sit up from a 
laying down or crawling position, she can crawl very well forwards now, 
and has taken to exploring the length of the house. she pulls herself up 
into a standing position whenever she can, which always scares me! :) she 
loves standing up better than anything, save perhaps jumping in her 
johnny-jump-up. she is no longer breatfeeding anymore, or at least not 
enough to speak of. :( we started supplementing formula while i was at 
work and school, and she ended up taking less and less, so i ended up 
making less and less. but she's so into solids right now i doubt she'll 
want to drink from a bottle muchlonger, anyway. she's already drank from a 
cup we held for her! :) there are also two things that frighten her much: 
the sounds of electric screwdrivers and blenders. yesterday she started 
blathering "da-da-da-da" so it probably won't be too long before she's 
talking. *sniff* they grow up so fast!
