Pumkin's favorite thing to do now that she has crawling under her belt is to stand. She crawls right up to anything that she can hold on to and pulls herself right up into a standing position and just grins! Have I mentioned on here how ornery she is? ;) We have even seen her starting to creep while standing up. She is still only 6 months! Amazing!
Now there are some problems with standing up so soon. Her legs are a bit wobbly yet so after standing in one spot for awhile she gets tired but hasn't figured out how to get down, so she cries for someone to come and rescue her. If she pulls herself up in the kitchen which has vinyl (YUCK) floor and has socks on, she starts doing the splits and does NOT like this. Then there is the whole not knowing how to get down thing...she falls quite a bit. Poor baby! I think baby helmets are ridiculous, but after seeing the number of times she falls and hits her head a day...well, maybe not so ridiculous. Typically she just keeps right on going. She is so determined.
We are pretty sure it won't be long until we're announcing that she is walking. We'll see. She hasn't learned how to sit up unsupported yet and this I'm sure is because as soon as you put her on the floor, she immediately starts crawling!
She has also broke her first tooth through on the bottom front. It took alot of work and alot of tears (on her part and mine) but it's through. Now she has how many more to come through? Our neighbors are really going to love us.
