I haven't uploaded ANY pictures to my computer so far this year! I know! It's rediculous! But Rosalie is so close to taking off, and she's already so fast! She's starting to take about 6 steps at a time, although she usually recognizes that she's still much faster at crawling, so she uses that for transportation. Walking is still a funny little novelty trick in her mind I think. We have LOTS of baby-proofing to do!
One of my New Years Resolutions this year is to get Rosalie out of our house more and playing with other kids. It started out with a sputter instead of a bang, since we were sick one at a time for practically the first two weeks, but now I think we're getting somewhere! I have to be brave and venture out of my safe, clean house to places where there are *eek!* germzzzz.... I prefer play dates at peoples houses, but we're going to have to go the public place route (starting with the library for story time I think) because really I don't have enough friends to fill up my time) But it 's what she needs and I can't protect her forever I guess! Eventually she'll be in nursery and she'll be sick constantly anyway from what I hear!
We're doing well weaning, but here's my question for you moms out there... How can I get her to drink cows' milk? She gags on it, once I seriously thought she was going to throw up! I've tried chocolate, Strawberry, 2% (yeah, I know it doesn't really count) and Kefir milk, but she won't take more than a sip, and now she doesn't even try anything if she can see it's not water. She doesn't really even like juice. She does, however, love smoothies and milkshakes, but I don't think making those 4 times a day is going to work! Did you have success with any little trick?
