On Thursday I received an email from our not-a-nanny (I don’t care what she thinks – I like her not-a-title 
). Actually, she sends me at least one email everyday with a picture attached. She’s awesome! I put the picture of the day on my work desktop. On this particular day the title of her email to me read, “A day for firsts…” I was excited and disappointed at the same time. I would like to be there for all the milestones, but having someone at home that sends me email updates with the important stuff is a good alternative. My not-a-nanny is awesome. I don’t think I’ve told her so, but she is. In the body of the email, she sent me read,
Your daughter was up to no good today. I watched to see if she would do it, and she did… take a look at the picture. She’s in the not-a-walker now. If it’s okay with you, I’d like to remove the top part of the Pack & Play and make it a playpen. But she obviously can’t be trusted in the bassinet now. (On another level, I’m very impressed… she used her arms to pull herself up!)
You can’t tell from this picture, but Sophia isn’t standing. She did pull herself up to a kneeling position though.
She may “only” be kneeling here, but standing is her favorite pass-time… you know pulling herself up to standing is the next step, and it isn’t too far off. But I did feel bad for stopping her. She was quite pleased with herself when she got up to her knees like that, and then she was “rewarded” with baby jail (the play pen). I’ll have to figure out some kind of soft-landing place for her to have floor time so she can work on pulling up.
Meanwhile… *bask*… thank you. *warm fuzzy feeling*
(I responded to your comment, too…)
Look at the girl go! Watch out, she’s off to discover the world. She such a cutie.
