It's always amazing how much can change in such a short time. It seems like Jasmine only began sitting comfortably on her own not too long ago (it was actually almost 3 months ago). Soon after that she wanted to try standing. When I put my hands near her feet while she's sitting, she would pick up my hand and prompt me to pull her up. Amazing.
Just the other day she was holding herself standing on the activity mat. Mommy mentioned that it was about 2 minutes of standing before plopping down (there was plenty of time to grab a camera). Two minutes! It has only been a couple days since that time but she hasn't held herself up again yet. She does love standing up though, even if her feet aren't quite in the correct orientation or in a good starting position.
A little less recently, her teeth began showing. The bottom two teeth were causing her a bit of pain and had a little trouble sleeping. Her teeth have emerged quickly and I would say they are about 25% out. When she smiles you can see them standing proudly.
Sleep patterns have changed too. It's no wonder - teething, standing, understanding the world, all at the same time. She is growing so fast and furiously. She's not slowing down for anyone. Sometimes I wish that she could be the little ball of heat again, but I wouldn't give up anything if it meant changing how healthy and strong she is now. I can't wait until the day I am chasing her around the supermarket or hearing her run to the door to greet me as I return home from work.
