My Little Godzilla

September 17, 2010

We are crawling! And she is quick. This week’s highlight has been stacking blocks and watching her crawl over to them and knocking them down. She is not a fan of stacked objects. She is my little Godzilla, sure to topple anything within her reach. It is a fun game, and we are capitalizing on it as much as possible. I figure that someday she will start doing the opposite and begin stacking them. But for now I think she just wants to reverse whatever we are doing for her, just to be a stinker.

Because of the crawling, Jakki rearranged the living room to make a corral with the couch and walls. It really closes the room, but until we can teach Natalie what she can and can’t touch, it is a simple and effective solution. We will probably change it back in a few years, but for now we make adjustments for her, and it keeps everyone safe and happy. Jakki can leave her in the living room and feel confident that she is safe during the breaks that are mandatory for a stay at home mom. This weekend I will probably move the TV around so that it is realigned with the couch. We all have our priorities.

The nighttime routine is getting shorter, and I am down to reading two books and putting her down before she is out. She fusses a little, but it never lasts long, and she sleeps through the night. Or at least I think she does, because she doesn’t wake me up.

There is not much else to share this week. No medical appointments. No fits. No aches and pains. No excessive mucous. No teeth yet, which is curious, but not concerning. Natalie is generally happy, likes to eat, and is catching up on growing. I think the Dr.’s may be surprised at her next checkup.

Have a great weekend!
