Goodness Gracious! What a day it's been! Carter is now fluently mobile, which means she's moving, and she's quick! We (literally, maybe!) have a ton of toys scattered all over the house: blocks, a bandstand, three stackers, books galore. What has Carter chosen to play with today??? A can of paint, a decorative picture frame from the shelf, and every single speck of dust, dirt, and junk on the floor! She can spot things she's not supposed to have amazingly well, and then beeline for that very same object! It's insanity!
Since she's so active (compared to the lazy blob she was two months ago!), she's napping about every three hours. She fights and fights, then crashes and sleeps for about an hour. Then, look out world, here she comes!
After a nap, it's on to the big, bold world! First up, crawling! Carter is a pro! If your little one is in need of assistance, please let Carter know. She's a master-teacher: it's in her blood!
Next item on the agenda: crawl to the wall, mount the steps/shelves, pull down the pretty picture frames, and try and pry the electrical socket from the wall. And you can tell by the look on her face, she fully understands "no."
We also made cookies today! What a harmless task, right? You're wrong! I gave Carter the lid to the flour to play with: she played with the flour. I gave her the scooper to look at: she flung dough all over her toes. I sat the spray next to her to look at: she tried to eat it. I'm sure Emeril has better assistants than this!
After such a long, hard day of being 9 months old, a girl gets tired. She might not want to admit it. And she might fight to the bitter end, losing to a nice, cozy crib. "Might?" Try "definately!"
(still think she's "sweet" and "innocent"? I think she's a beast!)
