Daphne started out where Ethan is pointing, and ended up where you see her. Funny!

She took a four hour nap today, woke up ravenous, ate a ton, then rolled across the room.  She didn’t roll back- she prefers rolling to her right.  We’ll work on the other way.  It reminds me of when Amelia started crawling (backwards) and ended up stuck under her dresser.

She is all over her crib during the night, too, mostly on her tummy now.  She makes several trips from one end to the other.  If I peek at her, she is always in a different place and angle than the previous peek.

Amelia is having a “picnic” in this picture.

She cleaned out her kitchen.  This is half way through.  She moved each piece one-by-one, (and out of the bin one-by-one) if you can imagine that.  She’s often not that good at playing by herself. This was not one of those moments. She was absobed for a good half hour. And she helped clean it all up.  She was such a pleasure the rest of the night.

She ate her first salad tonight.  I bought a bag salad that was really good- some thing that is like a taco salad with little bits of tortilla chip, cheese, salsa, and sour cream-salsa dressing.  She ate half-a-dozen fork fulls, and has never eaten any salad before.  Plus the girl loves salmon. We really need to eat it more often, apparently with taco-style salad.  She ate an adult sized piece of salmon, then finished mine, finished Ethan’s, ate 6 strawberries, and a bowl of honeydew melon. Then we enjoyed a half hour on the lower deck, just chatting and reading a couple books.
Let’s not talk about how grumpy she was this morning.  She made up for it tonight.

 I figured out another mystery phrase Amelia learned while we were in Italy.  She has been so romantic, talking whistfully about how she loves singing and dancing in the rain.  It also came from the Kermit the Frog book that Grandma brought.
