Sixteen Month Baby Update
Has it been that long already, I say again, and will be saying for basically the rest of my life.
Laila is not walking yet. All babies have their own schedules--just yesterday when![[instagram.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/profile_icons/instagram.png)
sashagee and I were going to the park we met one of our neighbors, who has two babies ages thirteen months and fifteen months. The thirteen-month-old is walking and the fifteen month old is not, and we met someone at the park whose baby didn't walk until seventeen months. Laila has graduated from not really understanding this whole "walking" thing and dropping to the floor to crawl to holding hands and walking along with us and even sometimes wanting to walk--she'll haul herself up on our legs and then hold a hand as she takes a confident step forward. She can't yet manage more than one step on her own, but she's strong enough. She just needs a bit more balance.
Instead of walking, she's decided to climb everywhere. She climbs onto the kitchen table--we have a ちゃぶ台 chabudai instead of a Western-style table--she climbs onto my grandparents' old stuffed armchair, she climbs onto the couch and then tries to climb up the couch onto the window sill, just last week she tried to climb into her crib--no climbing out of it yet, fortunately--and just after I left for the office today, I received a photo fromsashagee that Laila decided to take my spot:
Also, breaking news--I just got a text fromsashagee saying that Laila is down to one nap a day! She slept in until I had to go this morning, and we eventually had to go into her room at 7:50 a.m. and wake her up because she was still cutely sleeping. Apparently also after I left, she went around the house looking for me and sashagee had to explain that I was at the office and would be back later:
Edit: I've just received another text that Laila has taken her FIRST STEP. Toward her high chair, of course, because the girl knows what she wants and what she wants is food. Immediately.
