Things change rapidly in the world of babies. It’s been a few eventful weeks since we last blogged. Teething is still an issue, which leads to a lot of wet bibs. There is still only the one that has broken completely through, but there are at least a couple of more coming.
Late last month, 21st of August, Andrea was baptised, which turned into a nice affair with a good family-and-friends gathering. The priest talked about how one should reap where one didn’t sow. Good idea. I think she also said that if you are lazy about getting richer, her god doesn’t approve. Seems like a sensible divine imaginary friend that god thing of hers.
Yesterday, which would be the 3rd of September, Andrea started a brand new adventure as she un-locked the secret to moving about mostly on her own. The speed is rather low still, and the distance traveled during a hard-effort session is easier measured in inches than in feet, but even today, just 24 hours later, she has almost doubled her speed and her reach. It’s a good thing we have acquired baby-safety items that will make securely lock our ceiling to floor windows that can be opened onto a 15 feet drop. It won’t be long until she can reach them with an uncomfortable (for mom and dad) speed.
