So, you think she understands “time to go” ?
Zane’s second favorite thing to do at OT
Zane’s favorite thing (he is snuggled into the hammock with a weighted blanket and swung into the big blue pad against the wall)
I was getting a shot of the two of them sitting so cute together and the OT noticed, with suprise, that she seems to naturally have a tripod grip. She did it multiple times, and I had noticed it at home too, although at home she did it with her right hand.
This picture could be called ‘mixed feelings’. Notice the immature grip vs. the mature grip.
On a totally different note, what is the deal with the weather?!? I have all these cute summer dresses just waiting for Zora and it looks like it is going to SNOW tomorrow. This is so irritating! Most of her winter clothes are size 6-12 month, so the few I have keep making the rounds in the washer trying to keep up. (ironically my favorite one keeps missing the picture taking. lol)
Speaking of dresses…I think I maybe should have ordered size 70s in Hanna’s for her. She is technically at the top end of 70s, so I ordered 80s for this summer. It looks like a ball gown on her. lol. It had matching pants (that are supposed to be capris), which is why they got pulled out today, but the dress is so long, you can’t really see the pants. In a funny note, I had her in a size 60 Hanna yesterday (on the right), and the capris fit and looked like capris. The top fit someplace between a long top and a short dress. She is as slender as Zane was chunky at this point. I need to just start buying a size down in pants for her, but I hate doing that because it makes it harder to resell. (which I need to stop caring about and just get what fits, even if it seems so weird to my OCD tendancies)
I’m hemming and hawing over HA sizes over here too. Rhi is on the short side, and I think 80 for bottom pieces would fit well. But the 80 dress looked more like a swing top the past few weeks. (only had a diaper cover to go with it so I don’t have a pants comparison yet) She’s 82cms tall though. I’m hesitant to get anything in 90 though, b/c Rhi is a solid 2T w/ room to grow overall. Of all the things to be bugging me HA sizing is bugging me right now LOL! That hammock looks like fun btw!
I love the polk-a-dot dress! (I *think* I got what you said about the different grasps, but just to be sure, you’re saying that Zora’s grasp is considered more “mature?”) The whole OT room looks like fun to me!
So cute! Very interesting observation with the grips.
I think I’d love that hammock, too.
Yes Jessica, Zane has a more inmature grasp than Zora does. That is not to say that Zora won’t revert back to a more immature grasp for a period in the future before she has a true mature tripod grip, but she is picking up the writing implements correctly and automatically going to a more mature grasp.
