A week of firsts

This past week has been an exciting time for the bean. She has had many firsts, all of which were exciting, some  a little more scary than exciting, but exciting nonetheless. First, starting with the purely exciting happenings.

1. Baby girl sat up by herself for the first time (6/7/12). She was rolling off her stomach, and instead of flipping all the way to her back, paused, and pushed herself into a sitting position. Exciting for sure, but who knows when she'll do it again (she's tried, but not succeeded yet).

Sitting inside her pillow fortress. She often gets distracted, and this makes it less likely that she'll bang her head on the ground when she loses focus.

2. She sat in a high chair. It was a lot like her swinging experience, she seemed pretty unenthusiastic, and by the end of lunch she may have been trying to eat her high chair ...



3. She is doing a modified roll / crawl / scoot combo to get around. She's definitely not officially crawling, but is getting much more mobile with each day.

... Now for the exciting events that were exciting only because they were scary ...

4. Baby girl now uses her high chair for eating ... because she had a tumble in the bumbo. Needless to say, the bumbo lives on the ground now.

Editorial note: She has no clothes on because we were just about to take a bath, but I was getting something to eat first, hence, naked in the bumbo on the kitchen floor.

5. We've experienced our first bout of projectile vomiting. Baby girl had some sort of stomach bug that caused her to projectile vomit all yesterday afternoon. All in all I changed 2 sets of sheets, changed my clothes twice, her clothes 3 times and gave her 3 baths in one day. Thankfully, she seems to be feeling fine today and never had a fever, it is not a fun experience though. Look how sad she looked, all nuzzled into my arms though :(
