Jen and Liz, exactly the same here with just about everything you girls said! Especially with the waking up in the night thing. Sometimes she will resettle herself but at least once or twice that doesn't work. Last night I waited a minute or two and this heartbroken little "Mum!" came out!
As for into everything, what is it about electrical cords??!! We are moving in the New Year, thank goodness, 'cause this place is too small to be able to move everything out of her way. Oh, and isn't it so cute when you're doing something and all of a sudden they attach themselves to the back of your leg?! Lucy can take a few steps as well when you hold her hands, but I don't think she really knows what she's doing. At least, I hope not... We're putting the Xmas tree up on the weekend, I think I might need a playpen for that!
Lucy has about three bruises across her forehead from various things she's run into head first. No fear...
Liz, I think they've crossed a stage for sure. And my Mummy friends keep saying Lucy has changed a lot in the last few weeks, even in her face. She's gotten heaps longer (still as skinny as ever) and just looks more "grown up", if that makes any sense.
She laps the water in the pool at swimming as well. Gross. And she knows how to kick! In fact, even the little arms move like in dog paddle. She loves swimming lessons, took a few times but she's having a blast when we go now.
Must go, work to do, I'm off this afternoon and it seems I can never get the house tidied, work done, Lucy's lunch made, my lunch made, etc, etc, before my friend gets here to watch her. In the New Year another client wants me (from home) for another day a week, so we're getting a nanny in part-time. Then I might be more organised. I'll still only be gone for two afternoons most weeks, but at least I'll be able to get things done while I'm at home!
