This week Margaret took a step forward -- literally! I was holding her hands on Wednesday night while she was standing in front of me, and she moved her feet forward to start taking some steps. She was pretty excited about it and started doing a marching type step and took a few more steps. This seems like the start of the back-breaking stage of learning to walk...
She also has had her last night in her basinette. Last night around 7pm she wanted to go to sleep. Because we don't have a baby monitor in our room I took her upstairs and put her in her crib in what used to be called Max's room. She slept for about 5 hours before demanding to be fed. Max was VERY excited that the baby was sleeping in his room and insisted on sleeping with his head at the end of his bed where he could see her.
After she woke up to eat I moved her to her basinette for easy feeding. She got up a few more times in the night. I looked at her this morning to make sure I would remember seeing my tiny little baby filling up her basinette!
We leave tonight for our vacation and when we come home she will be sleeping in her crib all the time. She's just too big to sleep in the basinette. She can almost sit up by herself. And if she is sitting up she is trying to pull herself up. The sides just aren't tall enough for that and she could very easily fall out. So the time has come...
In other news, it looks like BA has moved our seats on our flight to make it possible for us to use their cot that attaches to the wall of the plane! Here's hoping!
