Alice is living up to her nickname of “Alice-saurus”. When confronted with a hamburger, Alice rips the bun off and eats just the burger. She is very fond of meat snacks as well. I guess it took getting her off the bottle to awake her inner carnivore.
Mom is playing tricks on me with her clothes as well. The other day I put her outfit on backwards because Mom had gotten some new ones which buttoned in the front. Having finally trained myself to remember that baby clothes have the fastenings in the back, I naturally put the buttons on the new outfit in the back, until I noticed the big tag sticking out. When I complained to Mom, she claimed that it was obvious stylistically that the buttons went in front. Oh, yeah, that helps a male engineer.
Alice is an alert baby and one thing she keeps an eye out for are tissues. She does not like to have her nose cleaned up and if she sees a parent preparing to do so she will immediately respond by either rubbing her nose on the parent’s clothes (if available) or smearing everything all over her face. Over time this tends to give her a crusty face until we have to wipe it off, which she doesn’t care much for either.
Alice is a long distance walker who will just walk and walk, without fear or exhaustion. She does enjoy going around on the scooter, which is why I have a sore upper back now. I pulled her around for 20 minutes or so, during which she never fell off but Dad was in bad shape from leaning over.
