Growing leaps and bounds....

Saturday, May 31st

Last day of May & June is just around the corner - yeah! along with summer. Earlier in the week we had some early morning frosts so J had to wrap up his tomato plants in a blankie. Poor J the tom plants have not survived twice now - lucky he has some more still in the seed trays in the basement. So more re-planting both on the deck and in the veggie beds later today.

Thought I would give everyone an update on S - I'm totally amazed at how fast S is progressing and growing - real leaps and bounds. In the last couple of weeks the following changes have happened with S:

• Crawling like a mad woman from Borneo. Watch out world here I come, real stomping around the house, when your in the basement you can hear the thump, thump, thump, thump of her crawling along the kitchen floor, this stops for a second or two for S to catch her breath then it starts again. (& for the grandparents I'll send CD's with video clips within the next week.)
  

• Starting to eat by herself - some small finger food items that contain banana and sweet potato.


• Her first bottom tooth is starting to poke it's way through the gum, I only know it's happening since the other day she grabbed my finger and put it straight into her mouth and ouch I felt a little sharp thing. Won't be long till I can clearly see it in her mouth.


• Sitting in her new big girl buggy (aka stroller) - thanks to S's economic stimulus payment!


• Nearly growing out of her 1 year old clothing
  
• Sitting upright in the bath tub so longer using her baby bath


• The crib is now lowered to almost lowest point, S has started to pull her self up, only for second or two.

I can already hear the world of Toddlerhood knocking on my door!

The last couple of weeks have been a total whirlwind to me, our house is 95% S proof - just have to finish the other 5% ; I ran out of safety items and had to purchase more in the week. I'm hoping she doesn't start walking before the end of this w/end!

Happy Saturday
