I finished Libby's crib rail cover since she is chewing it like a beaver..sigh.. and the last one I made, well she figured out how to move it out of the way. I have a little trickster on my hands! So I doubled the fabric I used (it's hot pink which I LOVE) and I added a 4inch piece of foam to make it padded. I finished it up on Sunday, and I'm pleased to announce IT'S WORKING!!! At least I figured out how to do it this time, and my trial/error is over so that when Presley finally sleeps in her crib (yep, still not in her own room yet, I know bad of Aaron & I... BUT I'm just not ready to move my baby out of our room yet) anyway her crib will stay nice and pretty!!
The COOLEST thing though that I have to blog about today, is DRUMROLL PLEASE...................... At one week shy of 19 months old, my sweet Liberty Grace is WALKING!!!! She has been standing up and walking a few steps and would fall down and that would be it. But a few days ago, I was in Presley's room hanging curtains, and I heard Libby giggling, turned around and she was WALKING in the room!! I was like OMG, and then she turned around, walked all the way out, into her own room, then back out into the loft & gave Presley a toy, then back into Presley's room all the way over to the window, then back out of her room and into the loft again!!!! ALL while only falling twice, but she got back up, stood up like it was nothing and kept going! I was so proud as I stood there in amazement watching her :) SHe's amazing! I felt like an idiot the next day for announcing the huge news on FB though, because of course she took a break and didn't walk for a day. But she has started to walk around more, and it is AWESOME! Today, she stood watching the TV and was dancing to the music on it. It was just so cute watching her dance without holding onto anything :) Seeing her walking like a little drunk person, it makes my heart happy. I've been a big sobbing mess watching her, because I'm just so proud she can finally do it! It use to bother me that she couldn't walk/run around like other kids her age, or way younger kids than her were walking (Ha, I have friends whose kids are almost a whole year younger than her, and they were walking before her! Bet you can guess how that made me feel) anyway, it use to REALLY bother me, but I KNEW it had to happen eventually, and now that she can, I can say it was WELL WORTH THE WAIT!! She's giving me a run for my money, but it's so fun. I don't mind the messes she is making, and how my house instantly got 5 times messier, because I know how special it is she is walking! Perspective, it's awesome :)
Here's a few pics of her walking!
If you look up in the corner you can see the cover on the top of the rail of the crib that I'm talking about, it's pink.
This is one of those better late than never things, but over the weekend, Libby started to actually use her spoon! Finally, we've only been trying to get her to do it for months, but this weekend, she grabbed the spoon and fed herself! First some cottage cheese (which she LOVES) and then tried some rice the next day with her spoon. Today though, she fed herself half a thing of yogurt!! I'm pretty proud of her! Both girls are just SO much fun, and they make me soo happy. I don't understand how some people don't like kids, or don't want them, because they sure do make my life SO rich & fun!
Speaking of milestones, Check out Presley's new trick she is trying to learn!!
She can sit up unassisted for about a minute before she completely gives and topples over... but that is great progress for her! Way to go little mama, you make me SO proud! It makes me a little nervous though to let her try to sit up, because her head is still pretty fragile, and her soft spot really bulges when she does this. Sigh, there's that dang MRI thing again, but at least it's coming soon so we will know if it's just normal for her, or not. She had 4 seizures today that I witnessed, and it's REALLY been stressing me out. I've tried really hard to not think about it, or tried to not worry, but that's damn near impossible when you witness it. Sitting there watching your little baby have a seizure, well it's terrifying. She usually starts SCREAMING after, because I think it scares her, or worse, maybe it's painful (this makes me sick to my stomach to think) so, yeah, I'm feeling a little stressed. I JUST need for her to be okay & need to know she is going to keep being okay. We've had so much CrAzY, it feels like I am always waiting for the ball to drop. At some point, I know life has got to get easier, and it may not seem like it now, but I actually can tell a tiny bit that it is. It's getting a little bit less stressful, and for that I'm grateful.
I saw this on a couple of my friends status's today on FB, and thought it was hilarious. SO true.
Reasons why having a Toddler is like being a Frat Party:
10. There are half-full, brightly-colored plastic cups on the floor in every room. Three are in the bathtub.
9. There’s always that one girl, bawling her eyes out in a corner.
8. It’s best not to assume that the person closest to you has any control over their digestive function.
7. You sneak off to the bathroom knowing that as soon as you sit down, someone’s going to start banging on the door.
6. Probably 80% of the stains on the furniture contain DNA.
5. You’ve got someone in your face at 3 a.m. looking for a drink.
4. There’s definitely going to be a fight.
3. You’re not sure whether anything you’re doing is right, you just hope it won’t get you arrested.
2. There are crumpled-up underpants everywhere.
1. You wake up wondering exactly how and when the person in bed with you got there.
