What would be even nicer is if she would learn to pat the puppy gently - "GENTLY" I screech to Charlotte as Sophie (the dog) yelps and runs for cover. Not 2 seconds previous to that she (that is, the dog) was soundly asleep dreaming about whatever it is that dogs dream about - only to be rudely awaken by her ear being pulled.... poor thing. There'll be nowhere she can go soon without that happening - once the munchkin is fully mobile. I've never been a fan of the child playpen, but perhaps I can buy one and put the dog in it to sleep - she should be safe in there!!
Anyway, so I have no photos of the dog hair pulling or ones of the crawling attempts (they happen too fast to photo just yet) - but I do have photos of the latest achievement - sitting... yes, seriously, who would have thought that Dave and i would ever have been so enthralled with watching another human being sit on their bum. I like sitting on my bum - and I'm sure Dave enjoys it too (I mean, he's in IT so there is lots of bum sitting... just kidding hon). Anyway, so here's photographic proof.
You'll notice in the second photo the blur as her head races towards the floor. About a millisecond after this shot I dropped the camera in an attempt to catch her before she hit the floor - but alas I was too slow. There was tears, there was screaming, then there was raspberries on the tummy followed by giggles. Truly, the child is a regular Jekyll and Hyde!! (for those who care, the camera is fine too!)
I love how babies crawl backward first. It is so cute. I also love it when they are just trying to practice in one spot and appear as though they are humping the ground. Not that your gorgeous Charli would ever behave in such an unlady-like manner!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have a new cabinet (in the background)?
Now that she can sit up she should be reading encylopedias. Out with the toys and in with the educational material. The alphabet blocks will help though.
ReplyDeleteShe's very very cute.
