Floor Time

Something that Jillian has been spending more and more time doing lately is laying on the floor, what we call her "Floor Time".

She tried it a week or so ago, and liked it ... for a few minutes; then she let us know it was time for something different. But over the past week, she has been on the floor for up to a 1/2-hour! We think her favorite thing is having the freedom to move her arms and legs around as much as she wants ... and boy, do they move (hmmm, what will it be like when she's crawling?!). She has even been doing a good job of moving her head from side-to-side, depending upon where the action is.

And just like on the changing table, Jillian's floor time is when she likes to practice her talking. She's always trying, and when something comes out, watch out! Her arms and legs really start flailing with excitement, and she tries even harder to talk. But if nothing comes out, then she gets frustrated and mad ... which leads to the boo-boo lip!
