Lil’ Landis

Filed under:Landis — posted by mystique on 8/4/2008 @ 9:27 am

Landis is a motor bug. She is pulling up on absolutely everything and is pretty stable. She can walk along the furniture and even reaches out a tentative hand to adjoining furniture to continue her journey. She can crawl across the entire house, will follow the girls anywhere and has even been seen standing unassisted for a few seconds. I am sure she is going to be walking soon.

I have to say that I am so blessed with a little baby that is totally in love with me. It makes all those late night wake up calls and long days of carrying around a 22+lb baby around worth it. I think the girls were in love with me but not like Landis, maybe because they had each other. Landis tracks me when I enter and leave a room and cries when I leave the room (she only cries for a second to show her disapproval). She is a very expressive baby and is even babbling mama while looking at me.

Her sleep schedule is still adjusting from Texas time and it is hard on her but she is doing okay. We had a few late nights (for us) where she went to bed around 9:30 and the last couple days we have been successful in getting her to nap twice a day and go to bed around 7PM which is what we are used to. She wakes up around 6-7AM and is napping right now at 9:25AM but was ready for a nap at 8:40AM. Jace and I need to get on baby proofing the cabinets, right now we just have all the cords and outlets covered but there is nothing toxic in any of the lower cabinets anyway so maybe it will be alright.
