New Things December 6, 2007

Just in the last week Fiona has really been getting close to walking on her own. She wants to walk all over the house with us holding on – but she barely holds on…in fact most of the time she’s walking by herself just touching our hands. Once she figures this out she’s going to be off and running….look out kitty cats! She’s also upgraded her babbling to something that sounds like a tape being rewound. She does this while moving her finger over her lips (like motorboat) and it really sounds crazy. She is so smart and loves to go around the house pointing at all the things that she knows. Also, true to form, it seems like she really has already dropped her 2nd nap. This seems so early! But for the last couple of weeks she’s been going down pretty consistently around 11:30 or noon and several times now she has napped for 3 or more hours! Don’t get me wrong – I AM NOT COMPLAINING =0 – but of course, after that, there’s no way she’s taking a 2nd nap. Even if she takes a shorter nap, like 1.5 or 2 hours it’s hard to get her to take a 2nd one. **The only thing that is a bummer about this is that most babes her age are still two nappers – so all of the activities for this age group happen around noon….when the toddlers are napping but between the babies naps…i’m having trouble finding some social activities that meet her schedule =) small complaint I know!
