I spent the last few days away from home due to work, and came back to this grown up girl who definitely resembles the baby girl I left behind, but this one is crawling about and getting up on her own. All in all much more grown up.
I think Rebecca does this when I'm not looking. One of these days I will go to answer the phone and come back and she will be looking down on me.
The down side is she keeps bashing herself off things. We now need to work out how to reduce that as much as we can. A playpen will be in place in a day or so, but there is a whole house full of hazards. Even just in her cot she manages to fall over and bash her head off the bars.
It's horrible to hear her scream but I really can't think how to avoid it. Sher has to learn the idea of not hitting off things or to put up her arms when she falls, but at the same time I don't want to have her suffer any pain she doesn't need, obviously.
I think I will ring around my parents and friends tonight to see if they have an advice. Sometimes I feel like an idiot not having had this all worked out ages ago. It's not like I never knew she was going to stand some time.
