Curie is almost 12 pounds now. Though our next doctor’s appointment is next month, Curie was sent home from child care with some blotchy-ness that turned out to be nothing.

Curie loves the song “That’s Amore” and will smile if you sing it, she also smiles if you blow into her face. She laughs a lot now and makes long days worth it.

Curie has started solid foods with rice cereal, squash, and carrots, she turns over from back to front almost immediately, and has remembered how to turn over from front to back. She has been enjoying her jumper chair, her exer-saucer (thank you everyone, we have gotten so many donations and hand-me-downs), and her toys much more. She is teething one tooth in the back, and puts her tongue on it constantly. She recognizes when you take a tissue to wipe her nose, loves sitting on Albert’s shoulder, and loves the mirror. She is going to crawl any moment now. The big question now is what to do with her hair? Cut? Grow out? Pig-tails, pony-tail, Pebbles-hair?

This month Curie broke the 10 pound mark, somewhere around 10.8 pounds on the Wii though her doctor’s appointment is later on this week.

Erin taught her to blow raspberries, she (Curie, not Erin) says “up-thhh” which sounds like up, so I lift her every time she does it.

She continued her “firsts” with Christmas and New Year’s Eve, and may be teething. Our childcare reports that she can turn over and has started scooting forward. She has t-rex arms so I am afraid she will get rug-burns on her cheeks. She turns all the way around in her crib, and talks a storm. She drools and blows snot bubbles, and is a joy every day.
