My Little Helper

Monday's are laundry and cleaning day at our house and today I had lots of help. As Sunshine has become more mobile I have learned that if I want to actually complete something I have to contain her in some fashion. This allows me to dust, sort laundry, scrub the floor, etc. without stopping 10 times to keep her from doing the things babies do. She has shown interest in the laundry basket, so today we sat on the floor together while I folded clothes. She had a great time swinging a sock around, putting it down, and then grabbing another one and doing it all over again. She even kept the socks out of her mouth so I didn't have to rewash them. We had such a fun time together. I love to interact with her!

Speaking of mobility, today when I walked in her room to get her out of her crib she was doing this.


She looked so cute so I had to take a picture. Anyway, she isn't standing yet, but she has started pulling herself up on her knees. So tonight T lowered her crib mattress to avoid any spillage over the side. Tonight when we put her down she was very aware that her mattress was lower, but she went right to sleep. Oh time seems to be flying by. As I was getting her dressed for bed tonight she just kept giggling and smiling at me and I told her that I wish I could just stop time or at least bottle up her laughs.

Oh, that picture of her peeking over the crib is priceless. I love it! So glad you're enjoying your days as much as I am. Motherhood is the best, isn't it? I often wish I could just stop and savor all of the beautiful memories, and make time stop...if just for a few moments. Enjoy these precious days.
