Week 36-38

Tooth 5 and 6 are popping through and 7 isn't far behind! She is a drool machine at the moment, which keeps mommy cleaning up after her constantly. Her smile is changing with all these little teeth...
She is also mimicking our hi's, adding a little Queen Elizabeth wave. She greets everyone she sees with this charming little stunt.
Other new developments: standing on her own, drinking through a straw, pursing her lips, mimicking sounds like chuckles, squeals, and whistles (which produces a very warbly squeal), and climbing the stairs. She just started this adorable throaty chuckle and will spider-crawl around chuckling to herself.
She is still infatuated with the piano, always pulling herself up to the bench and reaching her little fingers to the keys. She also has been raiding sushi's toy bucket, much to sushi's chagrin and consternation.
Her appetite continues to expand, including practically anything that mashable or small enough to eat. She is becoming increasingly independent and wanting to feed herself. This is nice as it gives mommy and daddy a chance to get in a quick bite or two.
She still likes to chatter, hum, and talk to herself. Her 'vocabulary' has quite a wide range now. But she always says dada when she see her daddy and a mix of baba or mama when she sees me :) hmmm...

33-35 weeks

What a little charmer we have! Lyssa is rapidly becoming one of the friendliest babies I've seen... She's always been good with people, but she has started to really respond to others. She loves to people watch and when someone pays attention to her she gets very excited. Of course that brings more attention because, be honest, who can ignore a giggling, squealing, adorable baby who is all happy to see you...
Her hair is coming in... gold. That certainly didn't come from mommy or daddy. The red tints from mommy, sure, but the yellow? All Johnson and Cole. And her eyes are a gorgeous mix of slate blue and ocean green. Some days we think 'ah her eyes are blue' and other days they are definitely green. In any case, they're just beautiful.
