This weekend has been a momentous one for us and our Nyla. On Friday, she learned how to effectively get herself up on her knees in her crib. When I went in to get her, she was on her knees smiling and laughing, super proud of herself.
Then Saturday morning hit, and when I went in to get her, she was standing on her feet. STANDING. Homegirl was standing all the way up trying to grab the blankets and stuffed animals that we have on the dresser next to her crib. Oh hell no. It wasn't even 24 hours before that she was just kneeling!
And here we are at the end of life as we know it. I fear this week, and the coming years, will be one big joyride with this girl. I better start stretching in the morning and getting ready to chase this monkey all over the house. Time to also start putting everything up and out of reach.
It's like she's really a human now. Before, especially in the first few months, she was like a breathing lump. You could set her some place and turn your back for a second and be assured that when you turned back around, she would still be there. That is absolutely not the case anymore. I've already had to catch her from slamming her head onto the Pack and Play, falling off the couch, trying to bite Okie on the nose, and trying to climb toward the TV. And that all happened just on Friday! Seven days a week we have this real life human! Teacup human for sure, but a human! I can't believe it! She smiles when you smile. She cries when you talk too loud. She laughs, burps, tries to babble with you, snuggles, and slobber kisses just like a human. I love it!
But don't worry, she's not growing up super fast. She still does this:
Nyla, please don't hate your mama for this in the future. :)
