Sorry for not updating in a while; I am back to work on a temporary, part-time basis and my daily routine is a little off right now.
Everything continues to change in Natasha-land. She's growing up and becoming a very determined and demanding little girl. She's now mastered the skill of crawling which leaves me to chase her around the apartment all day long. It can get really tiring. Last night, Matthew and I left her on the living room floor with a bunch of toys while we did some stuff in the kitchen. About a minute later I went to check on her, only she was not there! So off we went to look for her, only to find her in the bathroom, next to the toilet looking all proud of herself! I guess we are in for it now. But at the same time, she's getting tired of crawling everywhere - I think she realizes that no one else crawls but her and she is really determined to make walking her source of transportation. So she would start whining and crawl on top of me into a standing position and would continue whining until I hold her hand and let her walk. And let me tell you, she's pretty fast! She's practically running! But she still cannot balance on her own so she's pretty dependant on someone to hold her hand. My poor baby is trying so hard!
She's also started pointing at everything. It's the cutest thing, and we try to name the item she's pointing at so she starts learning what things are called. I think she learned this from watching BabyTV on Rogers - there is a toddler there that always points at things, and I think that is where she got it from. She's also turning one in exactly 11 days which reminds me to book her one-year doctor's appointment - I am really dreading it as I know she will scream at the sight of her pediatrician, but I know she'll scream even more when she gets her vaccines. Maybe Matthew should take a day off work and take her.........
