21-6-2009 - Mth 8 What a mth for milestones!

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

Mood for this month should have been Proud, amazed and tired!

Wow what a month this has been! It seems as though Grace just didn't stop learning something new this month! I've had a hard time keeping up with her! I was happy that Grace was not doing everything as quickly as her sister and brother but she suddenly had other ideas! It was so nice when she learned to go from lying to sitting as she stopped doing the dying fly dance lol! Grace learnt to wave and give us lovely kisses! At 8mths 2 days Grace started crawling, quickly followed by pulling herself up and walking aroung her cot and furniture. The good thing about her being mobile is she is able to entertain herself alot more but then we have to ensure shes entertaining herself without harming herself. Eyes at the back of your head just doesn't come close!! We thought the lounge was baby proofed as she has been rolling around since 6mths but now that she can see from all angles nothings safe lol. When Grace was 8mths 2wks she cut her first tooth in just three days!! Grace started to say baba then mama two days later which just melted my heart! This little girl of ours just will not stop! We have two steps leading into the kitchen and hallway from the lounge either end and Grace learnt to climb them so that she can follow us around more! But she knows no danger as she trys to crawl down them and has fallen a few times luckly she hasn't hurt herself! She has fallen down that much these last few weeks that she now only crys when she has hurt herself the rest of the time she now laughs! I have taken Grace to tinytalk classes since she was 6mths and she is understanding many signs now. It took just 1 wk for her to understand the sign for nappy when we change her nappy we lie her down sign nappy and she lies still and puts her legs in the air. Oooohh my clever little girl!!
