When I was pregnant it seemed like I was going through adolescence all over again. My body just went off on its own path, not even giving me a map telling me which way it was going, and me just stumbling behind trying to keep up. I no longer felt like one, I felt like what I was, two. After pregnancy I was still two because that poor Ella could not even lift her head up without my help, much less move around the house. She was my little puppet and I was constantly making sure she was O.K. and not too upset about being moved around like a sac of potatoes. But now, now I feel like I am back to one, just me. Part of this is because my hormones are finally starting to reach a more normal state. I am not longer crying hysterically because we do not have Christmas paper in October nor do I hate ever single human being on the planet (two of the side-affects of my pregnancy, lovely). But Ella Sue is now off and crawling, all over, up and down, side ways and sunny side up. Not only that, she has intentions, things she does and does not want to do, and ways to let us know. She is no longer a little being who we were trying to guess what was going on, now we know. She nuzzles us with her head and screams bloody murder when we cut her fingernails. She also seems to be an independent child. No need to entertain her thank you, she is just fine checking out the 204 ways she can move around the leaves in the back yard. As much as I loved being two, I adore being back to one and getting to watch Ella since she after all, is my number one.
Wow! She has grown up so quick! She is gonna be gorgeous, better get a big stick now to knock the boys away later. It will give you plenty of time to practice! That's great that she is crawling. Time to baby proof if you haven't already! Glen liked the cupboards. Next thing you know she will be pulling herself up and standing next to the furniture! Try clipping her fingernails when she naps and see if that cuts back on the screaming. I still have to cut Glen's when he naps.
