Rose cannot be contained. No jumper for her. Highchair, no way. And forget pulling her away from danger. Pulling her across the room from danger only buys about 10 seconds, and she's right back to slamming her fingers in the cupboard again. Now that she's on the move, she is eager to explore. I spend all of her waking hours watching her like a hawk and pulling her away from things. She can also pull herself up to standing...shelves, stools, toilets, stairs, toys. Hasn't tried the couch yet. And she's not cruising very much. Just standing to stand because it's fun. Oh, and clapping. Tons of clapping. Random clapping, clapping to mimic people on tv, clapping if she hears the words "good girl!". And her hands make a tiny little baby sized clapping noise that is really quite cute.
Luckily she has a tiny pretend kitchen that makes a lot of noise. She plays with it non-stop, so if I need to run and get a sweater for example, and I can hear the little faucet saying "on..OFF...on...OFF" I know she's still there and not following me. I have to bring her everywhere I go though, so she is basically never alone. And I can't trust Paige will notice if Rose shoves a silly band in her mouth, or that she won't pull herself up on something and fall into the tv cabinet.
This is a very busy stage, and I can't even imagine what it will be like when she is walking and I have another child to take care of! CRAZY!!
Here she is halfway up on that kitchen.
