Drinking
I gave Wee M her cup so she could drink by herself (for what I thought was the first time) and she knew exactly what to do ... wasn't 100% accurate, but she had the right idea! She must have practiced at the little house!

Wee M's October Update
Wee M has been changing quite a bit over the last month. Her hair still sticks up on end and she still has only 6 teeth, but most everything else has changed. Wee M loves to crawl around and stand up holding on to something. She is very careful when she is moving around. With Chippy, we had to be hovering over him all the time when he was standing and walking back and forth on the coffee table. With Wee M, she doesn't move her feet unless she's sure of where she's going and that she can get there without falling. If she's not sure, she slowly lowers herself onto her bum and will crawl to where she's going.
Her sleeping has been hit and miss - but that's mostly our fault for travelling so much with her recently. I think she's just about back into a pattern of getting up only 2-3 times a night and having a good long sleep from 8 - 2ish. When we put her down, she generally doesn't cry that much.
Wee M's just getting over her first big sickness - the flu!! Poor little lady picked it up at daycare and was sick for most of our weekend in Toronto.
Wee M is really playing well by herself - she can amuse herself for quite a long time - either watching Chippy or Dunning, or by rummaging around in the toys downstairs. Her favourite toys right now are her shoes and diapers. If either of those are in the area, she'll grab them and won't let go - even when she's crawling or pulling up! We got out the Newbury bus with shapes that fit into holes on top and she seems to like that. Problem now is that Chippy thinks its a new toy and want to play with it too! She's starting to come around to books. Rather than closing them all the time, she has started to help turn the pages. We'll keep working on that one!

Walker Walking
I set Wee M up with the walker tonight and she wasn't sure what to do at first. However ... once getting the hang of it, she went up and down the hall for quite some time!! We only had to help her out when it came time to change directions. She LOVES walking! Wasn't able to take video, but have pictures that show her progress.

Happy Birthday, Daddy!
Wee M's contribution to daddy's birthday was to start operating on a schedule! It's incredible ... no idea what the change is, but she is now only getting up twice a night, she's completely happy at daycare (even the drop off!), sleeps in her crib at night and naps, and she has a somewhat predictable schedule for the remainder of the day! That's about the best birthday present ever!!
