I've heard t...Oh, right, about the milestone. I've heard that when they learn to pull themself to a stand or when they start walking, things like that, they wake themselves up trying to practice it at night. At least my little one seems to be holding off a bit on that milestone, she's cruising but not walking yet.<br /><br />Congrats on the new word! "Cat" was my toddler's first word, funny enough. I think my little one "might" be saying "Mama," but it's hard to tell! She says the word, but does she mean me, or is it just a sound? I'm sure you know.<br /><br />My little one has developed an addiction to acorns. They must be the yummiest things on Earth. Digging them out of her mouth constantly, but she always finds another one. Less gross than bugs, I suppose, although at least bugs aren't a choking hazard. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777680993366017928.post-35657815558075096552009-10-09T09:19:00.993-05:002009-10-09T09:19:00.993-05:00Oh, I just meant that maybe she's on the verge...Oh, I just meant that maybe she's on the verge of a milestone (standing/walking, I'm thinking, or maybe speech; she just started saying "cat" yesterday). Her sleep often suffers when she is. This was the worst night since she was about three weeks old, though! I do have a feeling that when the new one comes, we'll have a lot of nights like that with her to begin with. She's very independent, will play by herself all day, but every five or ten minutes needs me to pick her up and snuggle her for a short bit.<br /><br />I can totally see The Child hoarding some bugs somewhere, possibly saving them for snacks. She is a really weird kid. I bet they're under her mattress.Wallydraiglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788768038088748437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777680993366017928.post-63065384421458813562009-10-09T08:01:47.230-05:002009-10-09T08:01:47.230-05:00Sorry about the poor sleeping! Not any milestone ...Sorry about the poor sleeping! Not any milestone I know of... perhaps an early attempt to assert her "I am the first child, pay attention to me" now that she's going to be a big sister? My toddler is always pretending to be a baby to get attention, maybe your baby is pretending to be a newborn to get attention. Just be glad she's not pretending to be an unborn and trying to climb back into your uterus.<br /><br />I had to use Google Images to figure out what box elder bugs are. You're right, they're not so bad on their own, but I can see being inundated with them as kind of scary. You don't, for instance, have a few of them in a cage somewhere, and the rest are attempting to free them? No? Maybe that was an Alfred Hitchcock movie. That, or maybe The Child has them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
