To buy her a million toys! She has toy tables, an excersaucer, a gazillion rattles, soft blocks, spin toys, a ball popper etc, and her favorite toys are the CELL PHONE (an obvious favorite), my laptop, a straw ( I take that one away still), REMOTES, plastic bags (only when watched closely), water glasses, MY glasses, and the laundry hamper! I know every parent says these exact same things but when will we learn that they don't really need all the baby gadgets on the market? She plays with it all but much prefers the mundane every day items.
Speaking of the hamper she is using it to pull up on! She never stops pulling up on stuff. She barely got the hang of crawling and now all she wants to do is get to the nearest place she can stand. She now stands holding up on her crib railing hollering for us to come get her, she pulls up on our legs, the couch, etc. And I swear on all things holy she took a step today! She was holding on to me, let go, stood for about 2 seconds and then took a step towards her toy table. She is still way wobbly and I know walking isn't going to happen in the next month but I bet when she is 9 or 10 months we will have a walker (Daddy walked at 9 months)! This is all happening so so fast!
She seems to be coming out of her "I only want Mama" phase. Tonight I took her to my end of the school year work party and she allowed many people to hold her! It makes me so excited to see her being more social! She still looks for me but is staying in other people's arms a bit longer! yay! I can't for the life of me get her to say "dadadadada" or "mamamamama" yet! She loves when we say it and sticks her tongue out like she wants to say but can't quite get the hang of it! Have I mentioned how much I love this little girl?
Livie is the same way - just wants to pull up on everything but has hardly crawled. I'm so impressed you took her to the end of the year party - how was it?!
ReplyDeleteAdam is the same way about toys - the laundry basket is definitely his favorite too. And he did the same thing with crawling - he crawled (sort of) for like 3 days and then started pulling up and creeping around the furniture (for like 2 months).
ReplyDeleteWhen they get together they will be quite the pair. :)
Glad the party went well and that you were able to take her and that she wasn't so clingy! Maybe next time I'm in town I can take her for the day....
