Talk about a busy few weeks, wow! For mommy, pumpkin and of course Naomi and Daddy. The biggest adjustment has been since mid-week last week. Mommy was put on "bed-rest" (not super strict but told to take it easy and not over-exert herself) and of course this all happens during the busiest month of the year for Daddy. Mom's being doing well, taking it easy thanks to a very amazing Grandma that has come to spend time with us for a little bit to help. Our house went quickly from chaos to organized - thanks!Naomi has been rapidly working on expanding her vocabulary. She is excellent at mimicking and can repeat many words, not knowing what much of it means, but happily repeats. She has said things from kitten to turtle. Ones that have stuck though that she seems to be using correctly are "up" (as she starts to motor up the stairs) or "baby" as she taps Mommy's tummy. Who knows if she realizes she's referring to a baby inside or just a large tummy!
Her pulling herself up and small movement has turned into full on furniture walking - with confidence! There's been a couple times she'll be up and not really holding on. One time it looked like she was going to walk away from something but then realized it and sat down. So almost took a real step by herself - scary! She can take her time with that, her crawling is getting fast enough! But the coffee table has been essentially fully emptied and the plant/fish that used to live there has relocated...
Pumkin continues to grow! Mommy as always is wondering how her tummy could possibly get any larger and how in the world there is space for all the acrobatic and karate that Pumkin is practicing...ever
y time we read the updates on the "baby centre" website it says that the baby should be running out of room and start moving less...we've yet to see that happen! And of course Pumkin has a different sleep schedule than Mommy - napping is near impossible now. Oh well.Anyhow, that's all for this edition, hopefully we'll get one more in before the baby comes - and hopefully that gives us 5 weeks in which to do that!
