Yes Belle is strategically planning my demise. I assume that she is at the age where she is starting to realize that her actions have consequences... just a little bit but not completely. The term "your being a baby" applies to Belle everyday. I even caught myself telling her those words exactly and immediately after the words came out of my mouth new words formed in my head telling me, "that's exactly what she is....". Thanks mind for clarifying that but it doesn't help the fact that my 'baby' is throwing herself backward crying because I took a cord plugged into the wall away from her or I wouldn't let her stuff the side of the trash bag into her mouth.
My favorite trick of hers is now on our morning walks when we reach the furthest point aways from the house she gets separation anxiety and I have to carry her all the way home while pushing the stroller too! I know that this too will pass but it's wearing me out! I don't know how much she really understands or is starting to and this is where the being a new parent is going to fail me.
Going with my instinct I believe she understands more than what I give her credit for but my head tells me she is still just a baby and that's what babies do. Needless to say I am not going to make any rash decisions and when she pouts or throws herself around the room I am just going to redirect her and go with the flow. I am sure this is where second children get the shaft.... can't always pick them up when they want... they kind of have to learn to deal with it :)
Other than that I bet for sure that she will be crawling pretty soon. The army crawl is still her main mode of transportation and she absolutely loves her walker. She can run around the house and explore tons in that thing. Not to mention run over mom and dad's feet to make us scream out in pain!!
Tchau,
Sara
