Maren has been busy the last few days. Between her regular sessions on the playmat talking to the stuffed bees that hang over her head (she has long conversations with the bees), she has learned to suck her thumb! Mom and Dad are delighted by this. She's also close to rolling over from front to back, and is hating tummy time a bit less. (Visual evidence below.) She loves to make high-pitched squealing sounds and is still sleeping well almost every night. (Almost.)
Last night, she gave us her first real laugh, which came when we were tickling her while getting ready for bed. And she's developing a love for reading books - every night we read three or four before bedtime, including Goodnight Moon, which she seems to like best.
