Not content to work on crawling...Izzy has now started pulling herself up on things. As you can imagine, this has lead to many bumps to the pride and a couple of bumps to the noggin as well. At least our living room still has carpet! As I sit here and reflect on what to write, Izzy is busily talking to the lion on her exersaucer...from the OUTSIDE.....and now she's fallen over and bumped her head on the wall. (2 minutes elapse) Ok, crisis averted....bruised pride mended with a hug and a kiss and a new cold teething ring. Ooooh yes...the teething personality is back! The break was nice, but we knew it was inevitable that more teeth would come. I don't feel or see any sort of bumps or openings in the gums yet, but the other signs follow what we've seen before with the first 2 teeth.
Anyway, not to say that Isabelle hasn't been working on other things....she can now easily get back to a seated position from her hands and knees/feet, which is a big help to mom and dad since she doesn't get frustrated and "stuck" every 5 seconds anymore. Now it takes her a bit longer to work herself into somewhere that 1. she probably shouldn't be and 2. that she can't readily get out of. She IS crawling a little further and further as the time passes, but she doesn't seem all that interested in distance crawling yet...especially since she's discovered that she can get herself fully upright if she tries hard enough. This led us to, just this morning, lower her crib mattress to the lowest position. This morning and after a nap yesterday, we found her up on her knees in her crib at the railing when it was time to get up. It was definitely time to lower it.
Isabelle seems to be talking more now too. She'll "talk" to one of her toys, or seems to hum to herself as she concentrates hard on doing something (like pulling herself up or reaching for something before falling over.. :P). Her sense of humor seems to be developing too. The other day as I was tearing junk mail in half, she started cracking up. Not sure why, but I didn't need to know why....I made sure I ripped each and every piece of junk mail that day at least twice, just to hear her laugh. She'll also crack up at seemingly random things in particular both when you are talking to her and when she thinks no one is watching. She's a nut!
Laughing at her own joke in the swing.
Hee hee hee
Here's Izzy in her camo in honor of opening day...
