Bethany's Baby Babblings

is it poor taste to make STI jokes in a blog about my sprog? Yes? Ah well, it made me laugh. Probably because wiggles had me up at 3 and then 6 so I've got a bit dippy. Anyway when I say clap I clearly mean that she has got the hang of clapping her hands! Weirdly she's been clapping her feet for a few months but that was just random flailing leg movements. I hope she doesn't feel like we're treating her like some kind of show dog. I suppose having a baby is kinda like having a puppy. I have said that wiggles is half puppy half spider monkey. I'm now singing spider pig to myself. I need to go back to bed. I've cracked hahahaha.

These past two weeks squidge has really started to be much more interactive and deliberate with her actions. She is mad for touching her feet. Keeps her entertained for minutes (which is a long time for a nearly five month old)  And she can put things in her mouth on purpose. Before she used to smack herself in the face until she accidentally got whatever in her mouth. It was well funny to watch, I'll miss that.  She's also learnt to stare at whatever she wants to grab (she likes stationery) or where she wants to go. I am a fan of this new skill because I may be her mother but I have zero telepathic skills and I used to just guess what she wanted to do. (Parenting is 100% trial and error in my experience) I am also finding my feet. I'm not sure that I'll ever get my head around this whole parenting thing but I'm getting better at blagging it and accepting that doing my best is good enough. Perfection is overrated.
