8 months old young lady
I’m 8 months old today! Time to evaluate my performance. (I added comprehensive comments to my grades.)
- 100% = Sitting upright without support
(With a few embarrassing fallbacks) - 100% = Crawling on my belly
- 100% = Standing on all 4
- 20% = Moving on all 4 (no progress)
- 100% = Climbing up and getting to my knees
- 100% = Climbing up and standing upright
- 50% = Moving along the furniture
(I still need practice to turn corners and move from a piece of furniture to the next) - 00% = Walking
- 50% = Using a sippy cup
(I love drinking water in a cup…)
To encourage myself, I started today to clap with my little hands. I applaud myself, tee-hee!
I also had extraordinary nights throughout the week – it helps that my teeth are giving me a little break (I have 5 now! 2 down, 3 up). I go to sleep at 8pm and wake only at 5-5:30am, take a bottle in my crib and sleep again until 6:30 – that way, mom got some serious rest for her trip this weekend. Aren’t I nice?

PS. Breastfeeding is already over. I’ve drank the last of mommy’s milk on October 12. It’s a little sad, but what can we do… I’m growing up. (I bit mommy, too, just in case she was having any regrets.)
