Today, Taelyn learned how to express herself by giving hugs and kisses. First off, she has been working on giving kisses by sucking and licking anything that we put in front of her mouth. This is usually one of our noses! But today, she added some hugs to the mixture. All week, she has been extremely fascinated with her hands. All day long, she will hold them in front of herself and just stare at them and see what they can do. Well today, we put a stuffed animal monkey in front of her, and she was pretty intense about testing out what her hands could do if she reached out toward the monkey. She kept grabbing his nose and then his arms, and before we knew it she pulled him toward her like a hug and started licking his nose like a kiss!
Then we tried a different toy. She has a stuffed turtle with a mirror on its belly. First she gave the turtle kisses on its mouth. And then she noticed the mirror and was very interested in the baby inside. Again, she grabbed the turtle, pulled it toward her, and started giving herself kisses in the mirror! It was so fun to watch; she is such a little sweetheart!
