And just like that, she's crawling properly now.
No more army crawls or the multi rolls, she's straight up crawling and pulling herself up on everything she can get her hands on.
Yep. Fun times...
My conundrum is this..
Personally, I'm not too fussed with dirt. I am a little bit but I'm not the fanatic that my husband is. Common sense tells me it'll be worse for her to exist in a super sterile environment.
At the same time though if I haven't mopped the floors for a while I really don't like her thumping on the floor boards 👇🤦🏻♀️👇🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ and now that she's crawling at lightning speeds thumping on the floorboards when I have my back turned has become a game.
She knows "No." and "Oww."
She knows to stop when she hears those words.
The difference between the two is "No." Is treated like a game sometimes while "Oww." is always serious and she stops straight away.
I had considered switching the word usage around so she would stop thumping on the floorboards but I love that she's sensitive and empathic to realise what "Ow" is and to respect boundaries.
These days, my most used phrase is "No Baby!"
This new development means I need to stop co-sleeping with her and actually get her to sleep in her cot.
😭😭😭😭
The only consolation is that we'll be bringing her cot in our room and putting it next to me. So pretty much replacing the bassinet with the cot.
Not really sure how I feel about this.
I know it's safer for her but we've gone this long and I haven't spent a single night without her by my side since she was born so you know...
😭😭😭😭
You guys have any tips for us?
How did you get your kid to sleep in their cot?
How long did it take? Or are you still co-sleeping?
