She might not be interested in crawling, but since she has found her feet there is no stopping her! There’s no more knee bending when trying to sit her down or put her in the highchair, nope – its far more interesting standing up!
Its so exciting! Ok, she only stood there for a few minutes but it was such a proud parent moment! I’m sure in a few more months when she is mobile I might think differently, but for now I am gonna share Emilys excitement at discovering the world from a standing position. She just loves it! And so do we!
Here are a couple more pictures of little em. Oh and happy 9 monthaversary!!!! Where does the time go?!
I had always had 1 year old as my mental landmark of when I’d be ready to do any ‘big’ travelling with Em, so it was a little earlier than expected, but I was feeling more confident than when we first started out in this parenting lark.
However, we had a plan – time her bottle so she was guzzling as we took off. We boarded, and had the bottle at the ready, but she saw it and wanted it immediately. As we finished boarding and started taxiing to the runway, she was glugging like mad in a quest to scupper our feeble plan.
Sure enough, she sat contentedly on Max’s knee during take-off, not phased by any of the noise, and then promptly fell asleep for most of the journey, and we actually had to wake her up to disembark.
