Week 50

Well it has happened. My little girl took her first STEPS! She has been so very close for the past few weeks that it seems so natural for her to be taking this next step now (hehe). She was standing in the playpen outside and she had her green striped ducky in her hand. Kevin was on one side and I was on the other in the pen with her. She was standing like she normally does when she looked over to me and stepped toward me! Since then she's done it a bunch more times, never more than 3 steps though. I'm so excited for her. I keep trying to get my new camera out to film her, but then she is distracted and all she wants is to take the camera from me.

Another new thing this past week is her ability to climb, on anything and EVERYTHING. She loves to climb, with no regard to her own safety. She is going to be that kid that throws herself headfirst over the crib bar because she really wanted out. I'm dreading the day she tries this. The other day she was crawling on the ground and she decided to climb over the back bar of the high chair. I really didn't think anything of it until her little butt was stuck up in the air and her hands were pushing off the ground on the other side. Her feet were literally in the air kicking because she was stuck with the bar in her belly. She such a daredevil! We are so going to have our hands full.

Kevin and I had been horridly sick for the past 2 days. Unfortunately the stomach flu hot my family and one by one everyone has gone down except Gabby and Aria. I'm just praying that she does get sick. on Sunday my mom watched Aria ALL day long, the longest I've ever been away from her. I didn't miss her too badly though because I was distracted by my need to hug the toilet every 30 minutes. It was absolutely dreadful. The good news is, apparently Aria didn't miss be much either. Auntie Babby and Yaya had so many fun things for her to do all day long. She didn't even miss her boobie. I think this might be a sign that she is ready for full on solids. I think I'm going to try to cut to two nursing sessions, morning and night. We will see how it goes.

This morning I woke up to Aria making a spitting sounds in her crib. She seemed to quite enjoy the sound  and even possible the wetness of her slurpy spitting tongue.

Well I just wanted to share the big news. I'm still a bit under the weather so I'll leave you at that.

Until next time xo Rosie
