My baby girl is 7 months old today…actually, it’s 1AM – so technically – it was yesterday.
I don’t know what is so different about “7 months old” vs “6 months” – but it really feels different. Like she isn’t a baby anymore.
Which is rather ridiculous. But…I don’t know…it just feels different.
Perhaps it’s because her personality is really beginning to shine. And she is doing ‘little people’ things like eating food, drinking from a cup and…(we had a big moment today!) for the first time ever, Rya has figured out how to propel herself forward!
It was like watching a salmon swim upstream.
She would wriggle forward, in pursuit of the object placed just out of her reach. She would gain a few inches, and then slide herself backwards an inch.
Undaunted, she would start the wriggling process again.
Bum lift. Wiggle…wiggle…. and little by little…she made her way forward, until SUCCESS! She reached the reward (a plastic bag of all things!)
I felt ridiculously proud of her.
Watching your little peanut figure out new things is pretty amazing. So is being a mama (even on those days when it doesn’t feel amazing because you are riddled with mommy-guilt…like on our last trip to the Island…more on that later!)
