Getting So Big!
Saturday, April 4th, 2009 | Uncategorized | No Comments
Our little girl is past the 8-month mark now — hard to believe! She can pull herself up from a sit to a stand, and she’s working on a tooth (or at least, there’s a wicked sharp something sticking out of her gum lately). She’s sort of working on crawling, but I think she’d rather walk. That would be bad news. We’re trying to demonstrate crawling, but she thinks we’re pretty funny. She’d rather crawl all over us than crawl across the floor.
We had to get her a high chair and a toddler-size car seat. She could have ridden in the baby seat a little longer, but her jacket is too bulky and she doesn’t fit in it side-to-side any more. The car seat attaches to our stroller base, but it looks pretty strange.
She’s also too big for 9 month pajamas lately, and we’ll probably have to move to 12 month size for everything pretty soon. We hit an awesome rummage sale recently, and now we have a little stockpile of 12 month, 18 month, 24 month/2T, 3T, and 4T clothes. That probably sounds excessive, but it was all you could shove in a big garbage bag for $5….so we got two.
Another recent change — she holds on to me when I’m carrying her, with this satisfied/possessive look on her face, and she reaches out her arms and leans toward whoever she wants to pick her up. She’s staying true to her recent favorites: eating paper, flapping her hands, and waving crinkly toys. We started our second quarter of baby music classes today — the class is a little smaller than last quarter, and some of my favorite kids weren’t there. Maybe it’ll pick up next week.
