We’re ten days away from being eight months old and are getting close to walking! Of course, we still haven’t hit the crawling yet, but that seems to be close too :-).
Of course, this means that we’ll soon have to put the house in lock-down mode: wire shut the cabinets, disappear the loose cords, cover the electrical outlets, and figure out what to do about the kitty litter in the laundry room (I’m less concerned about eating the cat food…). The ability to walk means we won’t be able to just set the baby down on her back on a blanket on the floor with some toys while we take a shower, either. Then we also have to worry about her running around the house and falling over or going somewhere where one of us is not. I suppose we’d just better get ready to do some chasing *-).
On the bright-side of the moon, our baby girl is getting to be less of a baby! She’s beautiful - like her momma! - and growing more everyday. It’s totally exciting to be able to watch her grow and to be a part of that miraculous process!
