The Stories of our Lives

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.)
