I walked at 7 months, never crawled. I am not clumsy.

LOL Wargod. When Sam started to walk I was relieved because he was such an unhappy baby. He really just wanted to explore. Myla...different story. As much as I'm excited she is starting to walk I can tell that she is going to one of those babies who "gets into things." I never really babyproofed with Sam, just the plugs but I really think I'm going to have to put things up or away for awhile. She has that evil streak that I can already see. I think she is my namesake...spitfire. LOL

7 months Escapee that is real early. I was fully walking by the time I was 9 months, so I guess my kids take after me. :-)

I'm so sorry Spitfire, it sounds like you have Dakota jr there. I couldn't go to the bathroom without dragging that child with me cuz there was no telling what the heck she'd be doing during the two minutes it took me to pee!

Wargod that exact scenario has already played in my mind. Yikes!

I would tie her legs together! I would not be happy about mobility at such an early age! Gee, you think you'd get at least one year without having to worry about them getting into every little thing. I was so happy that Ryan did not walk til he was about 13 months old.

war, that's what i had to do with holly. it only developed into another problem though. she's almost 17 years old, and she still walks in on me when i'm in the bathroom! i don't think i've had a pee to myself in my home in the entire 17 years!

Landi...is there such a thing as privacy in a bathroom? I wonder why we even have doors for the rooms.

She's pretty good about staying out now, but usually stands next to the door and waits for me, lol.

With Caleb, I could have set him on the kitchen counter next to the stove, with it on, a knife next to him, and gave him a twisty tie, left the room and come back and he'd have been sitting there playing with the twisty tie 20 minutes later. Never did anything like that, lol, but I had no worries ever about leaving him anywhere in the house alone while I went to do something else.

With Dakota, couple minutes alone she was in trouble in some way. Took a six minute shower, she danced on my glass topped coffee table and shattered it. Cleaned the bathroom, she was outside throwing produce at the fence. Cooking dinner one night, everything in the house dimmed...I found her on Caleb's bunk bed with a metal tipped umbrella at her feet rubbing her hand and giggling about how it tingled when she stuck it in the light socket. Even when she wasn't doing something drastic and scary, she was still into everything and nothing has changed. I've always said she's not a stupid kid, but give her a minute alone and she suddenly develops the biggest lack of common sense ever when it comes to her own personal saftey! Looking back now, some of it still scares the crud out of me, but I can see a lot of humor in the less frightening things she did. Plenty of times I was standing there saying "what the heck were you thinking??" while I faked a cough to giggle to myself.

You've got some fun times ahead of you, lol! Just remember the times that made you laugh cuz you'll need those to get through the times you find yourself sobbing on the couch after she's done something so outrageous.

Gee Wargod we may have found the twin to each of our off-spring. LOL Sam is just the way you describe Caleb. Sam is an extremely active kid but does not do things that he generally shouldn't. And we already talked about Myla and Dakota.....


Here are a couple recent photo's of my little devil...ahem...I mean Angel. This is my attempt at being a photographer.

Spitfire, Myla is beautiful and getting so big! She even has that "look I'm so sweet and innocent" look, lol. I'm with Jimmer, I really like the different picture style.

What a cutie Spitfire!

The Nuby worked out just fine. He still has a nighttime bottle but we're working on it :-) That'll be the tough one to give up....

Walking at 7 months!!! Thats just crazy...earliest I've heard was 9 months...and usually with a second child who wants to keep up with the older sib. Wow! (tie her legs together...LOL...no kidding!)
