Well, Jim has achieved mobility! He crawls all over the durn place! This morning he pulled himself up on his toy box, looked over his toys and carefully chose one. Then he sat down, looked up at me and said "Uuuuhh Uuuuuhh!" and showed me what a big boy he was choosing his own toys! He will crawl all the way across the living room to get to the guitar (Daddy plays flamenco, I play bluegrass.) Then he sits and bangs it or strums it. And he has perfect rythm! I think it's from listening to his Daddy all the time. He says Dada. And he JUST learned how to wave bye bye! I LOVE being a mama!
He will be six months on the 3rd. Being a mom is so fun! When I was pregnant people kept trying to impress upon me how miserable I was going to be, but I'm not! I think it all has to do with attitude. Sorry for the silly title of this post. Was watching the Simpsons. "Howdy neighbor!"
wow!? crawling that earily!? leane is 6 months and a few days, and she doesn't do any of that stuff.......i'm a little worried now.......... i know exactily what you mean about loving to be a mama! When I was pregnant, i had boat loads of people telling me how i was never going to have a life or anything anymore. I suppose they said that because i was a young pregnant person, but I love my life now! I never went anywhere or did anything before, though, so i was used to being at home. Funny, though, all my life I had this frustrating depression, and after having her, I just love life now! I'm maintaining a job, going back to school (the pregnancy inspired me to finally figure out what i wanted to do) and am just overall happy!
Oh no, don't worry! J jst is very determined! He's like his Daddy's sister apparently. She did everything early and now she is a jet setting jornalist. I too had isses before my baby! I got pregnant and I had to say "This is it! Yo HAVE to be O.K. for his sake. Yo can't screw this p." And while I still need meds, I got over alot of the other stff.
Isn't it miracolous (sp? ) how having a child can completely change you? I said the same thing to myself the day that I found out I was pregnant and I said it to my dh, too. I still have to go back on the meds, but it turns out that I had social anxiety disorder, which in turn gave me depression. I have even overcome a lot of issues with the S.A.D. but I've been like that all my life, so it's not totally fixed.
teeny, don't worry. Every baby is different. My youngest to crawl was 5 months, my oldest to crawl was 8 and a half months old. The others were inbetween. All normal, all happy. Every baby is different. I've had kids walk at 13 months, and an other not until 15 month, 3 weeks and 2 days (not that I was counting.......) She's fine. She'll crawl when she wants to. Jazz, now you gotta hide everything. LOL! If you don't want him to have it, and it is within 5 feet of the floor, he will find it. Guarenteed.
Maggie-I'm not really too worried yet...she's still young. But she still doesn't totally sit on her own....she does most of the time...just when she reaches for something that's out of her reach...plop...over she goes. She can't catch herself yet....since she's a little behind there, it just worries me for other things. Or maybe I'm just being paranoid..... But I was reading my "mother of all baby books" the other day, and one mom had written in this blurb which she said that at some points, her daughter would fall behind some other babies, but then she would do a whole bunch of things at once....only time will tell.
Falling over while sitting is really normal. She's a sweet, plump baby, and probably will sit on her own when she is ready. ALL mamas worry. It's normal, it means you care. Prop pillows around her, so she falls on a soft surface. She'll probably laugh then. I see that little pic of her and just wanna grab her and hug her. She is adorable.
