Steps! Monkey took actual steps this evening! The first time was from husband to me, just four or so little steps then plopped down. Then she did it further, a couple of times. I caught a few on camera. The trick was to give her something to hold (a jar of E-45 cream!) which she was intent on bringing to me.
Now she's been crabby, spent a lot of the evening on the couch with me, and definitely has the start of a cold. Blah. Lots of sneezing and rubbing snot all over her head. Hopefully her fascination with shredding and eating tissues stops soon and she gets to hang of the whole nose wipe thing. I anticipate an ugly weekend while this cold takes hold. We plan to go to the zoo on Sunday, but i'll see how she goes.
It's too hot for the vaporiser (we need the evap air con on instead) but might try and dose her up on vitamin c rich fruits. Maybe even try the baby vitamins again.
Had a letter from the Immunisation Register today - when I called, it turns out because she had the 12 months shots just before turning 11 months (because we were going O/S) they have no record of her being immunised and I can either get more shots for her (no way!) or sign a conscientious objector form saying I choose not to vaccinate. Blah. So annoying. Our MCHN has contacted them so hopefully that has smoothed things over and payments will recommence. I worry this will pop up over and over again now, with her going to daycare and school. It's so annoying, because I did the right thing and got the shots so she was covered while traveling and now we're being punished for it due to a computer not accepting the date of the shots.
Best get to bed before she wakes. I think there will be a few wake ups tonight, unfortunately. Hope my little Monkey gets better quickly.
