Getting Big!

Tinkerpot is getting so big. By that I mean she's doing so many things that I don't want her to be doing...like crawling! Like pulling herself up. Like cruising around. She should still be a little baby lump that I can snuggle. But no. She's got an agenda and no one's going to get in her way!

Yesterday, she began the repetitive "mamamamama". So I guess Mama is her first word. I think it was Bug's first word too. I actually think Tink said "papa" first but no one really encouraged her the way Bugs and I did about "mama" so that's the one she keeps repeating. Poor Marshmallow.

She's been crawling since she was 6 months old. The little rocks back and forth and the inefficient crawls she had were so cute and lasted for so long I thought she'd never get the hang of crawling but now, she's all over the house. I had to empty out the living room of the coffee table and other extraneous furniture so she could pull herself up and fall down without constantly hitting her head which was so frequent she always has a red mark on her forehead.

She is sleeping so great too. Sleeps 7 to 7 with two naps now. The first an easy 2 hours, and the second usually about 1 1/2 hours. She's a good baby in that respect. What am I talking about? She's a good baby all around. She's just a mover. I can't keep her still even for a second. Church is a total joke. And she won't even take a walk in the stroller without half way trying to climb out of the stroller. It's ridiculous. I expect she'll be walking by the time she's 9 months.
