That's right world, M is standing on her own! She's pushed about 10 seconds with no support and gets better each time she does it. The greatest part is, she giggles and throws her head backward because the first time Mommy watched Baby stand, Mommy's excitement made Baby so excited that the head throw became a game.
Roxy was not quite prepared for M to land on her, as you can see from her startled position. But she has continued to be
so good with M! I am so thankful for a dog who is baby friendly; it excuses her from all those times when the word "come" apparently means "Sit there and stare at me while I call your name louder and louder and louder and get more and more agitated."
We had lovely weather today, so we spent a lot of time in our backyard playing, fully slathered in SPF 50 of course. Well, M was at least. Mommy was tanning, until she broke her lounge chair while sitting down. It apparently couldn't handle the pressure anymore—the thing has been around since the early '90s, so Mommy is blaming it on age (and not any extra baby weight that might still be lingering...).
M is teething but all those lovely teething toys hold about as much interest as diaper changes. She likes ice, the numbing gel, and toothbrushes (thank you Ashleigh for that one, if you read this). The cute little pretend cell phone in the photo is only interesting because it makes noise, and that's only for about 2 minutes and then she moves on. I
completely understand why kids end up with so many toys now. Before M, I always wondered, "How can a kid need so much?"
Answer: Because of short attention spans!! I never guessed I'd end up rotating a baby's toys just so the old ones stimulated new interest, even if it lasts a few minutes.
