Miss Joy turned six months old a week or two ago. She learned to crawl about that time, and she is moving very fast now. She pulls herself up to anything that doesn’t move under her, and gets very frustrated when we block her from such wonderful playgrounds as the basket of newspapers we keep in the living room for fire starter! She loves to play outside in the grass, and in our bedroom, much better than in the living room—although the kitchen is almost as good as outside. She’s so tiny she can easily sit up underneath a chair.
She loves my teacup with the picture of our family on it.
She still sleeps well—although for a week or so before she got her first tooth this week she wasn’t sleeping as well. She’s a thumb sucker—the first we’ve had.
She loves ice cream! Before she was really crawling, Esther got her to move all the way across the living room by holding spoonfuls of it in front of her.
One afternoon when Miss Joy was a bit grumpy I put her in a tub with water in the kitchen. She played in the water for awhile, and then stood up and found the cabbage I had nearby! She was delighted that she could reach across and taste the cabbage!
