Accomplishments
So, Elise has looked liked she’s been trying to pull up on things, but she can’t quite reach the furniture in the living room. Yesterday, I had the brilliant idea to show her how to pull up on some low red chairs in our living room. I lured her there with a toy, and she reached up to get it and pulled herself up. Now she can only stand like maybe a minute by holding or leaning onto the chair, then she falls over. She practiced a couple of times. Well, this morning I could only see little standing feet on the monitor, and after breakfast she applied her new skill to another piece of furniture. (I didn’t think she would catch on this quickly.)
-
- Good morning!
-
- Good thing she’s not tall enough to reach the top.
-
- She really wanted those buttons but couldn’t move to the right.
-
- Shortly after this, she fell and bumped her head.
-
- See the red mark.
-
- Holding her bottle by herself for the first time.
-
- Teamwork – I iced her foreheard while she held the bottle.

Watch out; she’s mobile now! I was surprised how quickly Isabel started moving EVERYWHERE! I still remember the cry from her first tumble. I was so scared she had a concussion or something.
That’s great that she has learned to hold her bottle. I’ve tried and tried but Isabel has never been interested in feeding herself, getting the bottle and playing with it so it drips everywhere is different.
That crib shot is priceless!
