Little Miss L... Onto double digit months! What? Next you will try to turn 1 year old on us?
Our happy little baby girl just keeps growing, even though we have asked her nicely to slow down. Pretty please, with a cherry on top.
I think Big Brother is excited for her to grow, he wants a playmate- one that can handle wrestling. If I put shoes on Baby L, he assumes that means she can walk. Excitedly exclaiming, "She walks now momma!" I then have to explain that shoes do not = ability to walk. It is an adorable train of thought though.
Still army crawling, but the fastest army crawler I have ever seen. She zooms across the floor. Who needs a Roomba when you have a crawler? This girl can (and will) find the teeny tiniest bit of fuzz on the floor... and promptly try to eat it.
She is gaining strength and confidence, which is evident in her constant state of pulling up on furniture. Her favorite spot is the entertainment console, because she wants to push the blue lights shining on the DVR box. She has also mastered stair climbing and makes a beeline for them when the baby gate is not secured. I noticed her becoming more interested in the stairs, so one day I followed her, but didn't intervene. Without assistance from me (besides catching her a couple times when she stumbled) she slowly pulled and crawled her way up ALL 16 STAIRS in our house! She was so proud of herself.
This past month the crib was also lowered. No more worries of toppling baby. Now she just needs to get over her fear of letting go once she is standing up in it. As of now, she pulls up in her crib and then cries until someone rescues her and lays her back down. It's a little tiring, but she just looks so darling standing there stranded and beams such a smile when you open the door to help her.
She also plays peek-a-boo by herself now... example...
Other tidbits: She has 6 teeth. She is able to push herself into a full sitting position. And she hates hairbands or bows or hats for the matter. She loves moochies and is ultra-ticklish. She likes fresh air and a walk around the neighborhood always makes her happy, especially when joined by our favorite Augusta neighbors The Roods. The have twins (boy/girl) that are 1 month younger than Baby L.
And just because,
here she is wearing a little tutu.
Dressing a baby girl is so fun!
