Watch out world, here she comes!
Ok, Now you all know that I have quite a few children. This IS NOT my first rodeo! BUT... the latest addition to the household seems to be yet another experience. My dear, sweet, Gretta is testing every limit of physics that she possibly can. She is 10 1/2 months old. She chooses not to walk yet ( she can ). She has no teeth. She does not speak words, but she talks with her eyes and body. She wears size 2T clothes and a size 5 shoe. Yes that means she weighs 25 lbs and she is 32"tall. She is the same height that Evan was at 14 months and almost as tall as Felicia was at 18 months.
Now comes the amazing part. She flipped her walker over last week while standing on a flat surface. Completely over on her back. She did not cry, she just started screeming she was so mad. The same day, she removed her pants while in the bed taking her 'nap'. She is so tall that she can actually drape her arms over the rail of the baby bed. With all her verbal eye movements she alerted me of her need to use the bathroom and so for the last three days has pooped in the potty. Now all of these things may sound like she is an easy child. Actually she is, but she is moving so fast that my head is spinning. Just when I remember what I do at a certain stage and how I talk to them and what I teach them now, she has already passed me up. She is sure keeping me on my toes. But ... she is sharp. Really sharp. Lord, Help me!
