Veronica: A Status Update

Since we haven't had our camera, it's been some time since we checked in on Veronica. She's certainly growing. Here are a few tidbits about our now seven-and-a-half month old:

Though she didn't like cereal at first, Veronica has taken to eating Gerber fruits and vegetables. Much of her diet still consists of breast milk, though, and Mom said she tends to eat better in the morning and at night when the other girls aren't around to distract her. As for eating in the high chair, Veronica can eat her weight in Cheerios.

Once able to only sit up on her own, Veronica can now pull herself up. She likes to stand in her pack-and-play (another Emily favorite) but doesn't like it when she gets on her tummy and can't roll over.

It's been a while since we've heard her say "bung bung" (her first words), but she is "cooing" and sometimes giggles. Dad is trying to teach her short phrases like, "Sure I can get that Dad" and "What can I do for you today, Dad?"

Mom is trying to teach her phrases like, "Dad, why don't you pick up after yourself?" and "Get it yourself, Dad."
