Since Nurith was breast feeding Lela until now and our little one is getting her teeth, we think it is about time to get her used to the bottle again to prevent further “nipple-accidents”.

Problem is, she really doesn’t like to drink from the bottle yet, because she likes to prefer the breast.
So even if Lela doesn’t really drink when we practice with her, she prefers to manage it all by her own as you can see :)

Also it is about time to really get Lela to raise her head more, since this is important for everything else in development. Here you can see her in action. Everyday a bit more! :)

… but to make the long story short, Lela is doing great!

Almost every day there is something new she is able to do.
Progress is still kind of slow, but her development never stagnates … and we have all the time she needs!

By the way, so many people are worried if their child isn’t crawling with six months or walking with twelve. Every baby is different and should take as long as it needs. Why hurry?

Of course, parents should be always aware of their babies general development, but ask yourself one question:

When you had your first job interview back then, did the boss ever ask you: “When were you able to walk?” or “How many words were you able to speak when you were two years old?” :)

Also the first teeth are breaking through, so currently her mood is not always the best. But even if she has a bit of pain going through this, she is brave and does really well. What is that comparing to what she has already gone through!

Enjoy the little medley :)
