Visions of Aestia

This is a reminder to self - all the web browsers I might ever need to test against in one place. Isn’t it amazing at the diversity HTTP has spawned?

Hmm I’ve been getting lazy - mostly because of how popular this blog has started to get, but John assures me I should continue posting! :BLUSH:

Anyway. Cecily is walking EVERYwhere, faster and faster. She even carries around rather heavy/bulky items like her plastic chair her nanny gave her for her birthday. Its all I can do to keep her out of trouble out in public, I’m actually considering using that toddler harness I bought ages ago! There’s a reason that most kids don’t start walking till a bit later - 1 year olds have no business being so fast!
To top that stress, she’s become an actual toddler. That is to say, besides the walking we have full on tantrums and, what is it they call it here, wobblies? The tantrums are kinda cute, since its just her throwing herself forward over her front legs and ‘crying’. Its easy enough to ignore (though I have to hide the giggle), which is what was suggested to me - it seems to work, no audience makes it boring for her! The wobblies are a bit more annoying… she actually screams, very high pitched, with this look of utter anger and shock that something isn’t going her way. I just ignore it too, but my poor ears are paying for it!
And now poor John… the kid has decided 5 am is a good time to wake, and because of my meds sedating me he’s the one that has to get up with her. Wonder how that will go? We were so used to her going down by 8pm and up, at the earliest, by 7:30am. Ah the good ‘ole days. In contrast though, I’m getting longer naps from her during the day Can’t say that bothers me much, but thats being a little selfish.

Stats for little from 1 year plunket visit: 80.5cm 11kg, “advanced in language (has a 30+ word vocab) and gross and delicate motor skills such as walking/balance (catches herself very well before falling, and can carry items while walking quickly) and hand use (can hold a pen with her fingers, not whole hand, while scribbling)”
So basically, she’s above the 95 percentile on the plunket graph for height, just below it for weight (therefor proportionate), and any suggested reading material for age groups has to be given 4-8 months in advance. Not bad for a (almost) 13 month old! Its so fun to read child development books because she’s always doing things months, sometimes 6 months like stacking 8 blocks, in advance.

Okay enough show off I better change said genius, I can smell her across the room. I wonder if potty training will be sooner too!
