Yesterday we went to Babies R Us to browse and try to get ideas for Daisy for Christmas. We did okay, though the one we went to seems to have drastically cut their toy section. We're going to try the one by us next week, I think.
The four of us went out to dinner with my mil last night. We just went to Millies who have sweet potato fries right now and Daisy did very well with them. She likes food that she can take bites. I guess she figures since she has 8 teeth she might as well use them. She still loves the pureed stuff I make her, but we're working on adding more texture to her diet as well.
In more Daisy news, last night she took 6 steps in a row towards me. She took three, then stopped and stood there, then two more, stopped, wavered, one more step and Kaboom! But that's the most she's taken at one time. I'm thinking a few more weeks before she does it more often. It was the same way with standing. I could get her to stand, but most often she didn't want to and would sit down instead. After a bit of time she started letting go of things without thinking and just standing there. Now, she stands all the time and has balance. So, walking will probably follow the same pattern. We'll see. She's just turned 9 months on Friday. Speaking of which, here's one of the pics I took for her 9 month birthday. It was taken at Disneyland, though she fell asleep before we made it to a different area of the park where I had hoped to take her picture.
Chris and I were discussing Tabitha's lessons and he has asked to take on some of them as he wants to be more involved. We've decided for now that he will take over Science experiments as I really dislike doing them for some reason. I mentioned it to Tabitha today and she was very happy to hear about this new plan. Right she has math, spelling, Solar System, logic, grammar and spelling for formal lessons with me. After the birthday season we're going to add history and will do another unit on maps and possibly a refresher on cursive. I may wait on the cursive until after maps is done.
