Sit? No Way!

There's definitely no question that the Muppet is our daughter. She does not stop moving - she wants so badly to be walking now, but she can't get her balance. Whenever we try to set her down, she will not bend her knees. Instead, she'll just "walk", forcing you to hold onto her until she gets to her destination.

She's now 8 1/2 months old. I haven't made a list of her favourite things yet, so here goes:

- laughing her head off
- smiling at you with squinty eyes
- crawling under the kitchen table and standing underneath it
- DVD player - she has figured out how to turn it on and off
- bouncing in her Exersaucer
- food: anything and everything FAST - I give her a rice cracker in hopes that it'll keep her occupied in her high chair while I try to do something - nope - it's gone in under 5 minutes (and yes, I actually timed her)
- head butting to show affection
- sleeping in (I have yet to hear her awaken on her own in the morning!)
- staying up late (she's just like her mommy - she gets her second wind around 9pm!)

- Eating the following:

• remote controls
• photo albums in the living room
• shoes
• magazines
• Cheerios
• pretty much anything she can get her hands on

As I'm typing this, I'm realizing how alike a list like this would be for a new puppy... hmmm...

She's such a joy - she just LOVES smiling - no matter what time of day it is, she has a smile on her face. Even when she's dead tired, she'll grace you with a half-hearted grin, to show you that she's trying. 

I love her!!
