Thursday, 9/4/08 crawling up the stairs...

L crawled up the whole staircase today for the first time totally unassisted and unmotivated. Before, we always had to have something she wanted a couple stairs above her and keep moving it so she'd go up. Usually she'd get half way by herself and then get scared so we'd have to put stuff in front of her to keep her moving. Well, today there was absolutely nothing on the stairs and she crawled all the way to the top and then through the gate and into her room. :)

She had a bunch of grapes today. She kept asking for more so I guess she likes them. She even got to one of them before I had a chance to cut it in half (you're supposed to to reduce choking hazard) but she bit it in half and didn't try to eat it whole so that was good.

She's definitely taller than she used to be...either that or smarter b/c she's getting into a lot more than she used to. She can now reach the third shelf on the bookcase, not just the bottom two, which means she's pulled stuff off that she's not supposed to like picture frames, pictures, and books. She's also figured out how to pull all the cd jewels off the bookcase. And today she figured out how to pull on of my photo albums off the shelf, which of course is a BIG no, no! She also can open and close one of the filing cabinet drawers and one of D's desk drawers that has all his computer games in it. She likes opening and closing the cases that the games come in and she got the cds out of one of them yesterday...I'm sure D will love that when he finds out (not!). A couple weeks ago, I realized that she's capable of responding to the command, "put that back," whether she does it or not is a whole 'nother story.

Her favorite sign is still "book," which she signs all day long!


She didn't like the grass touching her feet. D says she's just like me (grass is so itchy!!). ;) So I put her feet up on the wings of the airplane and she was ok.


she really wanted the phone!


talking on the phone. I tried to get some without the phone but she cried so that was no good.

Tuesday, 9/2/08 standing alone




one of auntie katie's favorite outfits for cousin sara...she let us borrow it :)




"walking" around the house with daddy's cellphone saying "hi-i," "hi-i," "hi-i"

Today L started pushing around her little airplane with just one hand on the handle so she must be getting more sturdy on her feet.

After D got home, she also stood with no support several different times and one time for at least a solid minute.

This past weekend we realized that she must have had a growth spurt b/c it seems like she can reach so many more things now. All weekend long, we kept saying, "she's getting so tall." She can reach to pull things off the kitchen table, dining room table, and the kitchen counter (the last of which she definitely couldn't do before).

She was cranky all day today and only took an hour and twenty minute nap so I gave her tylenol a couple times today...i think it's her teeth?? and hope it's not something else.
