Andie is beginning to crawl - fast. She has been since about 2 months ago. Now, she scoots to wherever corner of the bed she wants to so fast that 1 second she is with me on one side, the next she heading towards or nearing the other edge of the bed.
I better start hiding all those loose books, stuff we have in the sala so I can put andie down on the floor and let her explore on her own. She stands up now too! Actually she has started standing up without really passing on how to sit down (on her own).
I think it’s ok though. Andie is a very very observant little girl. She loves watching Dora the explorer. And every time the Intro song is sang, she’d quickly stand up (with me holding her up) and dance or jump up and down as if getting excited. If she’s not dancing, you’d really notice that she is excited because you will feel her heartbeat beating faster. Haay, i remember those times when I would visit my OB Gyn for my monthly visits and she’ll use a dopler to listen to Andie’s heartbeat. How time flies!
Anyway, my mom and I has began discussing on the possibility of me buying Andie a walker. Initially I really want to. I think all kids I know of had one. I too had one. But with all the reading and some people telling me not to buy a typical walker lest I teach the baby to be lazy — walkers like these make the baby just fly around the room instead of letting them use their legs to really practice walking. If ever I do buy says another, I better buy those native ones, where there ain’t no wheels, made of rattan wood and the baby will really have to literally WALK. Just like the walker used by older people.
Decisions decisions. That’ll be over 1000pesos too if ever I buy one. hmmm. thinking…
