well, these aren't so much lessons as much as just funny things aria's been doing the last few days since i wrote. she's still discovering everything via her mouth, which is VERY entertaining at times and very inconvenient at others, lol, but always amusing. just when you think she's being affectionate and going to give "kisses" you realize, she just wants to put you in her mouth, as odd as that sounds. it doesn't matter what it's made of - she will find a way to get it in her mouth. and if she can't, she wil express her anger at whatever toy/object refuses to do what she asks.
she's also started flipping herself over from her stomach to her back - not theother way around yet, but it's the little steps :) she hasn't quite figured out what she's doing yet, i don't think, as is implied by her confused look when she lands on her back, but she's doing it and rather well!
currently her favorite thing (as i think i mentioned in a previous post) is playing with hands and toes. mostly her own toes, but anyone's hands will do. she can be entertained by you just moving you fingers a little bit for quite a length of time and then after she finally gets your fingers in her hands what does she do? but of course, stick them in her mouth.
a couple more less interesting/entertaining things are that she's sitting up almost entirely on her own now...until she bends over to grab previously mentioned toes, at which point she tumbles forward. she can stand up for a couple seconds at a time with very little help, and is incredibly proud of herself for this. she's started recognizing her grandparents and aunts/uncles, which makes them happy :) she also finds tissue paper almost as fascinating as your fingers. she still hates being put down for naps, but will acquiesce if we play music for her. she has figured out that when we start to make he bottle, she's going to eat soon, and she gets very excited.
excuse the random ramblings of a proud mommy. i just can't believe how big my little baby is getting - she'll be 5 months this coming sunday!
