However, since my last post, something wonderful has happened. Our little baby girl, our little wee one, our little bundle of wet diapers... has become a toddler. Yep! That's right. She's really not much of a baby anymore (except sometimes when she's tired or wants something that we're not giving her). As a matter of fact, she can now stand (see demonstration of standing illustrated above)! And, with the miracle of standing, she now also crawls!
This all means that the days of setting our little Kate down in one place and leaving her there are over... because she will follow you... she will follow you and then start pulling up on your pants leg. If your pants are not fastened properly, this means that she will then pull them down in her attempt to pull up (this has happened to Chesney and is a practice that I strongly encourage).
One of the many strange things she does (she's a kook) is that she'll stand at the coffee table... and if I'm sitting behind her, she'll let get of the table and will flop back into my lap. Total trust test. Performed multiple times an evening. She thinks it's funny while it scares the cr@p out of me. In my head, I keep seeing her at daycare flopping herself backward with no one around to catch her.
Right now, based off of this particular daredevil tactic and her fascination with our ceiling lamps, we're forecasting that she'll either become a stuntperson or an industrial lighting engineer.
