Lucia is 8 months

Lucia is growing fast, zummm she’s 8 months. She knows who is dad and mom, she answers to her name, she knows her cat Aramis. She likes playing with the jingle balls, with her teddy bears, and with all her bunch of toys. In fact anything is a toy for her. So we must be careful to keep things out of her reach. She picks up the things she likes and pulls away the ones she doesn’t. Selection is the key!

She makes lots of noises of her own, and tries to communicate. We are starting to learn these baby signals. Like I’m hungry, I’m tired, I need a cuddle, and where are you mom!!! This last one I get it quite often. I read that she might be in this phase, where she’s discovering, that in fact, mom is not part of her, so it is hard for her to see me leave or to not see me at all.

We play the “cocoo” game often, so that she will learn, that even if she can’t see me, I’m still there. And then when she finds me, and she opens her arms wide, how can I just don’t take her in my arms and squeeze her tight, feel that particular smell of her, mmmm, one of those magical moments.

My baby, my moment.
