It seems like she was really trying to cram a bunch of development right into a two week span. When Dinah started crawling, she went from one or two “steps” to across the room at high speed in about 2 or 3 days.
Its been pretty cool, but pretty exhausting as we’re baby proofing on the fly, or just chasing her around to keep her away from things she shouldn’t get into. The top things she loves to play with that she shouldn’t are lamp cords.
Babies are amazing creatures, aren’t they? Congratulations, Keith and Sarah. (OK, so it’s a few
months late, sue me, I just found this blog, and I’ve been a tad busy with my own bambino.)
Just lamp cords? My daughter yanked out the 25A cord that was feeding my whole home IT operation a couple of times when she was 8 months or so; the solution that worked after first failed was to put heavy furniture in front of that outlet. Our 2nd child is a one year old boy, little males are even worse. He’s destroyed a 31 inch TV by rapidly turning it off and on, climbed to & opened and yanked the drawer out of a CD drive making little parts fly everywhere, broke the antenna off my cell phone, etc. etc. etc. You can either have nice things or children, choose one.
