So I'm in the kitchen finishing up some steamed carrots and apples for tomorrow's Reya snacks.....
AND B says quietly, "That's 8 steps in a row." with a huge smile on his face as Reya walks towards him in the middle of the living room floor! She has been flying around her play yard for a month or more and would walk if you held her hands up but it was the real deal tonight! We are so proud we could pop! I only wish I could have gotten a picture to post as well. I know, there will be a next time. There is also a little voice in the back of my head saying " You better glue the Christmas tree to the floor! and everything else for that matter....NOW!" We love you Reya!
How exciting/scary/fabulous!
ReplyDeletePlease tell me, what do you do with a walker while you go to the bathroom or cook dinner or take a shower? Olivia just stays where I put her, and I know those days are nearly done.
We got this thing called a "play yard" more like a pin for baby.... http://www.target.com/First-Years-Plastic-Safety-Yard/dp/B00328CUDM
ReplyDeleteWith toys she stayed pretty occupied while we did stuff around the house and it's mobile and you can fashion it into just about any shape so you can drag it to the kitchen area, hall way, etc.
This niceness lasted about two months.
BUT then she started moving the whole thing herself, pushing it where SHE wanted to go like some super baby. Now my husband just excuses himself from most duties such as laundry, never cooks anyway, and I wont mention the shower... All for the sake of "watching the baby."
Don't worry though. You'll figure something out. A routine that works just for you. I just do a lot of choirs when my husband and I are both home so somebodies always got eyes on the baby. Good luck!
