Noah had a doctor's appointment today, so I took the afternoon off to watch Mihaela. We had a lot of fun together and had a day of firsts. I put her in her swimming suit and filled up our little wading pool and she had her first experience swimming. At first she was a little nervous but gradually warmed up to the idea of the pool and then had a lot of fun with "water play."
Then, when I took her out I set her on our porch while I went to dump the water out of the pool. Mihaela then stepped on the grass and walked over to me. She has been avoiding grass. She has been scared of it, crying anytime it touches her. This week she has been gearing herself up for walking on grass by walking to the edge of the patio and setting one foot down on the grass. She would then pull it back. She has been very tentative. Then, today, she just steps out on the grass and walks on it.
Another adorable thing she has picked up this week is hand-holding. She has been walking, but hasn't wanted to hold your hand when she walks. On Monday, she grabbed hold of my finger while we were walking. She has since learned that she can grab a finger and then lead us where she wants to go. On Tuesday I said, "Hey, let's go to the store." She walked over to me, grabbed my finger and led me to the garage door. It was so cute.
She is such a big girl.
