My baby is such a big girl now! Things officially changed when she started walking. Although I should have seen it coming, I was not prepared for how quickly it would happen. One week I was carrying a baby around the house, the next week I couldn't convince her to stay in my arms for more than a few seconds at a time.
She prances around the house, sometimes nearly runs, moving little articles from room to room. If you're looking for the remote controls, try the master bathroom. If you are missing a shoe, it may be in the guest room. Books, magazines, toys, cds, socks...everything is fair game for Lily. She is this tiny, industrious person who is always on the move.
Over the last two weeks she has perfected climbing. No longer confined to the ottoman or fireplace ledge, she scales her mini-chair and even gets up on the rocker by herself. Once she's comfortable, she actually knows how to get the chair moving and will rock herself by throwing her weight backwards!
Yes, all of these events make me a little sad because I absolutely adored everything about mothering a baby...but I am also very excited to watch her grow up. She is such a character already, I look forward to all her future shenanigans!
